We could have retired Harry Reid for good in 2010 if TEA party "leaders" hadn't supported such an unelectable dolt as Sharon Angle to be the Republican nominee to face Harry Reid in the general election. I sure hope the TEA party learned a lesson. The other candidates running for the Republican nomination in 2010 were not RINO's and had a real shot at unseating Reid. We might have even gotten a Republican majority in the Senate sooner had the TEA party not supported other unelectable candidates against weak Democrats in Democrat leaning states.
I have a sliding scale for rating Republicans. I love Ted Cruz, but Cruz is not electable in all states. I think we need to elect more senators from consistently RED states that are like Ted Cruz. I really detest Lindsey Graham, especially since South Carolina could do better. I would be able to tolerate someone like Lindsey Graham if he were running in a marginal Republican leaning state or Democrat leaning state. Don't complain about RINO's from purple or light blue states when we have a considerable number of multi-term Democrats in the Senate representing states that consistently vote Republican in presidential races.

that consistently vote Republican in presidential races. But do they vote conservative? Because Republican doesn't mean conservative. Generally, it means somewhat less liberal.

Romney was 'unlectable'. He wasn't elected. Liberal republicans don't win the presidency anymore.
And only loser liberals keep supporting a liberal republican that lost.
Voting for a liberal republican is throwing your vote away.
