Bingo. It’s not the job of the RNC to be a gatekeeper. Give them that power and eventually they’ll only pass their “preferred” candidates.
If an R candidate is dirty, let his primary and general election opponents find that out.
And if they fail, it’s ultimately the voters fault for not doing their own due diligence. If you care more about the character of your potential babysitter than the person you are voting to give the keys to the public treasury, then you deserve whatever scumbags you get screwing you over.
“They do. It’s called “opposition research”.”
Is that a fancy way of saying that all candidates in an election should be looking for dirt on their opponents.
Santos’ election is the fault of negligence by his opponents. I have to wonder if the “negligence” was intentional.
