When the party backs and funds one candidate over another in the primaries, yes thats giving us a candidate. When we have open elections being steered by Soros and ACORN, thats not “our choice” any longer.
That’s not the role of the national party except when the candidate is an incumbent.
Both the House and the Senate have their own campaign coffers they distribute to candidates they endorse and I donate to the House conservatives through Georgia Representative Price’s group.
You might be speaking to the backing Crist received from the party over Marco Rubio. I’m not sure where that came from or if money was given to Crist in addition to an endorsement.
