So why did the following stalwarts lose?
Richard Mourdock in IN
Todd Akin in MO
Joe Miller in AK
Doug Hoffman in NY-23
Sharron Angle in NV
Christine O’Donell in DE
Ken Buck in CO
JD Hayworth in AZ
George Allen in VA
Were they also not conservative enough?
George Allen ran a horrible campaign here in the Washington D.C. Area and deserved to lose honestly, he tried that damn nice guy act and Kaine ran over him like a truck.
The others the establishment neither supported or did everything to hurt their image.
Sharron Angle’s was the dry run! Trojan horse kicked in, that was it! I’d posted “can the election be rigged” before after reading lots of electronic voting exploits, etc.
They lost because Romney DID have coat tails - negative ones. His presence on the ticket depressed Republican turnout. Romney could not overcome the contempt many Republicans felt for him; there were not enough willing to vote FOR him. Trying to get people to simply vote AGAINST the other guy without offering a reason why you are better does not work.
Do you want a list of Tea Party winners and see the betting average of TP candidates? The list is long.
Mourock and Akin are ignorant of Pro-life issue. They let the MSM framed the narrative. The question was easy.
But do you know why Romney and Ryan lost? They just dismissed the social issue. It has be addressed clearly.
Joe Miller? You know why he lost to Mrsiskdkkskkdk. Mwskkskerkksksk used an Alinksy tactic.
Hoffman? Angle? O’Donnel? Inexperience.
But the fundamental requirement is “a fighting conservative”, somehow who can articulate the Conservative Principles.
But be honest. all R&R had were pure rhetoric, no concrete and understable plan to solve the current issues.
That means the rule is: Being a conservative is much better than the more than million of youtube hits of Romney as a flip-flopping liar.
Same thing with Paul Ryan returning to Congress to re-fund Obamacare and the Republican caucus was marching a new bill repealing Obamacare.
Smooth sailing campaign? Maybe, that’s how R&R looked on TV.
But under the radar of MSM-loving voters? Liars and hypocrites.
A fighting conservative that lost the battle was ok. But a liberal republican nominee with halo of electability but later lost to election is so difficult to accept.
Romney was a disaster as a presidential choice, with his 20 year record of failure and losses.
Joe Miller was the republican nominee that the GOPe turned against, same with Hoffman and O’Donnell, even Aiken and probably more on that list.
What does a party hack like you think, when your party campaigns against it’s own party nominees?
