No! You did! Seriously!

You are never going to take some seats with anything more than a RINO. Just won’t happen! Coons had the upper hand going into this. So instead of playing it smart and trying to to their part for the national aim of getting the chamber back the locals picked COD. I’m sure shes better than Castle. He’s still better than Coons!

Coons would have trounced COD (and he did).
Coons probably would have beat Castle but he had a better chance.

Coons goes to the Senate and are minority party. Castle goes and we have a shot at majority. COD goes we also have a shot at majority and as a bonus she is more conservative.

Coons is the bad option, Castle is better than Coons but not that good, and COD is great.

AT THE SAME TIME.

Coons is very likely, Castle is somewhat likely, and COD has no chance.

Given that something bad is probably going to happen how would you try to avoid it? Shooting for the ideal but unrealistic option? Being pragmatic and taking something not ideal but better than the bad option?

Deleware GOP picked to be idealistic and unrealistic. That isn’t how the budget gets fixed. That isn’t how Obamacare gets repealed. The truth is we need some RINOs. Can’t be helped. We worked with the USSR against Hitler. We worked with the jihadists against the USSR. Now we are working with muslim militias against the jihadists. That is how politics works. I’d rather have RINOs that let some conservative things happen and have to put up with some junk from them than have a small (but pure) presence in the Senate that really wouldn’t be able to get anything conservative passed at all.

Don’t let perfect become the enemy of good.
