I’m not suggesting he was a good candidate or that he should run again... or that we would not have been better off with Mo Brooks, far from it. I am suggesting that once he did secure the nomination, the GOP should’ve realized this tanking his candidacy was just the trial-run for the next candidate or judicial nominee. It just served to demonstrate that all one needs to do to eliminate a Republican is to make an accusation. When one of their own is attacked, the dems circle their wagons, the republicans form a circular firing squad... combine that with the fact that the typical GOP representative or senator spends 3/4 of their time in office stabbing their constituents in the back and the rest of the time campaigning, it becomes clear that the GOP deserves to go the way of the dinosaur. The only reason they’re still here is that nobody except the GOP establishment deserves Democrats in power and we haven’t yet found a way to make the GOP dispensible.
I kind of agree. The Rats are a far more disciplined bunch when it comes to party loyalty. They never take their eyes off the prize - holding office & power.
