The very same old GOP old hands opted for insider Jim Tedisco over Betty Little in that race and Tedisco got beaten, hindsight suggested Little would have won hands down. And, interesting enough, up pops Tom Reynolds to comment, again. It's argued that instead of any genuine insight into politics on the ground these days, they didn't want to repeat the Tedisco mistake, judged it based upon purely out-dated male/female lines and were going to go with a female no matter what.

Some national GOP types apparently just had to have a woman run for the NY - 23 seat. That's a serious problem for the GOP now, lunkheads in DC who think along the lines of identity politics, and look for groups they can pander to for votes. Those sorts need to be purged from any leadership roles because they are severely damaging the party.

No, you are wrong in that you are mistaken in their motivations. It is bad for us, conservatives, and bad for the country. But for the RNC/GOP bureaucracy? It’s great!

I’ve always said the Republican Party was the go slow Democrat party, Democrat Lite party. So for the RNC, this is good.

They are just following along with the Democrats identity politics meme.

That is what the GOP/RNC is about. Getting elected. Then, getting re-elected. Elected for elections sake.

It’s the process, not the values.( not that there were many ).

Who is the Republican that calls our Democrat and Republican built government a racket? A lying, thieving, indebting machine?

No one.
