Bush 43 picked up a couple 2 years into his first term but sold his conservative soul in the process.

Not sure if he has one. If he does, it isn't conservative.

Putin looked into his eyes and never mentioned seeing anything.

The primary problem is finding a likely candidate who has the organization and financing to run. (Or, the ability to develop the organization and financing.) People who are successful start in lower office and develop the contacts they need. It isn’t enough for somebody to say, hey, there’s a winnable seat somebody go for it.

We’ve seen conservative candidates fail because, while sincere, they have no political acumen. The press will be after them and will attempt to trick them so you get people saying things like women who are raped don’t get pregnant or equally idiotic comments. These get played up and no matter how good the candidate they are viewed as toxic to the 11 percent of the voters in the middle who are neither Democrats or Republicans, but whose votes often sway the election one way or the other. (Approximately 40% are D’s and 40% R’s.)

It would be great if the GOP would get behind likely candidates, but the GOP picks middle-of-the-roaders who cross the aisle. Few conservatives want that type of candidate. But if the party did get behind a conservative it would be helpful if they ran them through practice gauntlets to prepare them for the ordeal of dealing with the hostile gotcha press.

McCain will get primaried and Kelli Ward will hold his seat.

Rob Portman in OH will lose.

Let’s wait at least until 11/9/16 to worry about 2018, shall we? Right now, I am only concerned about getting rid of that traitorous rat, Corker at that point.

Stay concentrated on defeating Hillary.
