Republicans were saddled with an unappealing nominee, thanks in part to Denny Hastert’s endorsement of him in the primary. Than the stupid idiot NRCC dumped money they couldn’t afford to spend into losing this race.
I wonder if the idiots will learn anything from the next 4 years and the disappearance of donations from conservatives. They'll probably think it means they need to reach out more to the "moderates".
Reminds me of when leader Hastert came to Oklahoma and mentioned he thought Coburn would lose the senate race. I felt he tried to affect that race. The people thought differently and voted in huge numbers for Senator Coburn. Mr. Hastert’s leadership during the time it could have made a difference, did us no favors. We will have to endure some pain in the short term, no way around it.
