The Dems did what one expected them to do: turn out their base.

The point is that we could easily have blocked them, since most newly won Dem seats were won by less than 2 %.

Some people are running around telling everyone how conservative they are and then they allow the Dems to take power. Those are the ones responsible, because they allowed the Dems to get that sliver of margin of victory. If conservatives had turned out, the Dems wouldn't have won. But they CHOSE to sit it out, vote third party of even vote for Dems.

Then, considering the slim margins, it would behoove the Republican party to have candidates that can actually attract the Conservative vote instead of repel it.

Or is telling conservatives to 'shut up and take it' your preferred way of attracting support?

What evidence do you have to support that claim?
