The Republicans failed to gain control of the Senate because of their failures to honor the winners of the Republican Primaries. The failure of the Republicans to fully support the candidates who came out of the primaries as winners is why the Senate is not in Republican hands.
Furthermore, the candidates themselves failed to support the Republican winner of the primary. Lisa M. showed arrogance and disdain for Miller; Castle turned his back to Christine O. Where was the leadership in the RNC? Why have primaries if the RNC is not going to support the results?
We already know that there is no integrity or statesmanship in the Democrat Party. ...and the Republican party?
That's been obvious for some time, which is why after 30+ years as a Republican I registered as an Independent in 2008.
