Reince Priebus made the first goal much harder.

True. Now answer this - did Akin make the goal of retaking the Senate much more difficult? Because here's the thing - if you say "yes", then you're just arguing over semantics because you agree with me. If you say "no", you've shown you're out of touch with reality.

True.
I didn't ask if it were true or not, I asked if it were fact or opinion.

...did Akin make the goal of retaking the Senate much more difficult?
In my opinion (IMO), no he didn't make the goal more difficult. Others, however, have done that job admirably.

If you say "no", you've shown you're out of touch with reality.
I've said "no" and, IMO, I've shown that I'm much more in touch with reality than you are.
