Political parties “weed out bad candidates”? Both major, U.S. political parties have failed to “weed out bad candidates”, and this is continuing, today! Far Leftist candidates with domestic violence records and RINO Republicans are two examples of bad candidates who aren’t “weeded out”!

Correct. ALL the neverTrumpers in the House lost.

Heller was lukewarm at best. Vukmir and Walker didn’t want Trump around.

Two of the few Trump supporters who lost was Jason Lewis and Matt Rosendale. I still don’t get MT. This should be solid red.

Lewis was in a bluish district. MN looked as though it was moving toward Trump but fizzled.

The in mass retiring of a whole slew of rhino republicans I believe was a deep swamp sabotage in a mid term election. However in the long run it ended up weeding out rhinos from the Republican party. The strengthening of the party just took place.

I suspect the next stage of trump negotiations over the fate of America just switched to hardball.

Honestly, Trump was a bad “candidate” but has morphed into an incredible president.

He didn’t care about being a candidate. He cared about being a winner. There’s a huge difference.

Read the article. You made Goldberg’s point which is the parties no longer have the power to weed out candidates.
