The problem with every one of them is they let the press define them. In Cuccinelli's case, it's just reprehensible that the RNC gave large cash infusions to Christie, who was sure to win, and starved Cuccinelli's campaign. Alan West was gerrymandered out of his district. Since then, conservatives have gone directly to conservative voters for donations.

And look at the McDaniel situation. He had it won in the primary, and the backstabbing elite played every dirty trick they could think of to stop that from happening.

What happened to McDaniel was indeed shameful.

But keep in mind the Media will always attempt to tear down consistent conservatives. It is a hill they must be able to climb in order to prevail. And it is never easy.

Which is why now I look for candidates who have the skills to win. No matter how good conservative a candidate is, when they lose elections, they become totally ineffective to change any laws.
