Why do so many here want to re-nominate losers? Kobach, Roy Moore... these are people that blundered away races in some of the reddest states in the country. Why give them a second chance?
I think because the newcomers are not much better. Here in Alabama we have a new guy running for Congress whose only claim to fame is that his wife liked him in high school. I cannot believe how terrible his ads are. Am I going to vote for this? Perhaps that’s why we re-nominate losers - because, maybe, they had one good vote or one good stand up moment.
But I agree with your chagrin.
Oh come on - don’t you find merit in having more unnecessarily vulnerable Senate seats that would cause resources to have to be spent there instead of trying to pick up seats in places like Michigan?
Why renominate Kobach? Because he is red-blooded and a staunch conservative in a state that is drifting ever closer to purple status. He got some of my money and he may get more.
