We need good candidates, but singling out just Tea Party candidates is only part of the story. We need good candidates who run good campaigns, period. We also need an NSCC who is effective at providing national resources. They have been terrible pretty much across the board the past two cycles.
When the base wins a primary, I agree, that candidate needs to be fully prepared for what’s coming. Maybe we do need a non party affiliated organization to help candidates prepare. The biggest problem I see among the handful of TP candidates who lost is a lack of campaign message discipline. It is crucial as a Republican because minor slips become major overnight. Watching solid candidates like Rubio and Cruz who both handled their campaigns with masterful message discipline should be the standard. As much as I hate it, Indiana’s Murdock was the best example of what not to do. That race was a shoe-in, and Akin should have been fare warning to prepare for the abortion questions. Terrible campaign execution.
I think it would also behoove the NRSC to stay out of primaries, and provide "rookies" who win them with not only the resources, but some training for them and their staff, especially on how to avoid the same "trap" questions that get used over and over again.
