Actually, that is a plus and maybe you do not recognize that. You have much more information about who and why you vote for a candidate. It’s called more information rather that propaganda regarding candidates. Rather a rare thing these days.
“Tea Party is getting swamped because the low information candidates they run are easy pickings for the Democrats.”
Yes that is correct and will always be so for “low information voters” as you say. I put those folks into the category of no news, news that is left, or news to be ignored. Maybe they are in the category of just leave us alone folks or get lost! These are promising Tea Party voters to me.
Just where do you put these “voting” folks fellow?
Time to put Goldstategop out to pasture...He is obviously a GOP infiltrator and doing a fine job I might add...heh.
Hey fellow, nice of you to drop by...
And they’ll get them. Still, some suckers will continue to play the game.
He hates the Tea Party. what’s new?
You must be a special kind of retarded. How many of your CRAPPY candidates lost races? ND, MT, WI, VA, MI, NM, FL, the list goes on and on.
Oh, good luck with that. You’ll have several Quisling Freepers stabbing you in the back and supporting Linda Gayham 100% They all came out of the woodwork tonight.
I’m with you on that. I am done with the establishment. They can go to hell. We’ve been through 15 years with these same losers.
Clearly. The guy needs to go back to Dummieland
“I hope Clay Aiken beats Ellmers.”
You want a Dem to beat a Republican?
You’ve lost your bearings, or worse.
This is about the power of incumbency, not the weakness of the TeaParty.
If we can knock off Cochren or Graham, it will be successful campaign season.
We dont have to like them but theyre the only game in town.
there was a time when the Whig party was the only game in town too.
Weird. A party that has gotten utterly trounced in elections for a decade is being touted at experts at winning elections. What they are doing is dumping big business money behind loyal drones who will continue open borders and big government policies....the people be damned.
What’s the GOP record? They lost far more senate seats with non tea party candidates than the tea party. If you are looking for 100% success rate in polItics, it doesn’t exists.
Who was going to be a lock in in nevada against a majorty leader? Your argument is fatally flawed.
I should listen to a California Republican? You are a joke.
If the establishment all get back in, we are left with one choice. Not the ballot box.
>> They blew winnable contests in Nevada, Delaware, Indiana and Missouri. <<
Yes, and don’t forget “Senator Ken Buck” from Colorado or “Senator Linda McMahon” from Connecticut.
There is no doubt the TP put up many not ready for prime time candidates... and it cost the republicans seats in 2012.
Now the republicans are handling them easily, which should have always been the case. When a not ready for prime time candidate shows up against an experienced one, the not ready for prime time should be taken out in the primaries.
The question here is how and why the republicans are now handling the 2nd and 3rd tier TP candidates so handily? If the low calibre, not ready for prime time TP candidates are being handled easily because the Republican Part has moved right politically to head them off, that’s a good thing because that means the Republican party will move back to conservative beliefs.
If however they are knocking of the TP candidates handily due to nefarious means then that’s not a good sign.
In general, TP will have to up its game and recruit better candidates to stay relevant, and the Republicans will have to move more to the right to counter them. This is a good thing long term but it won’t happen overnight. If the TP doesn’t up its game and recruit better candidates they will just become irrelevant and the Republicans will start sliding left again.
It will be interesting to see what the TP does next cycle.
>> Who was going to be a lock in in nevada against a majorty leader? Your argument is fatally flawed. <<
Yeah, sure, just like the argument that John Thune could never beat Majority Leader Tom Daschel.
Tillis is already in trouble. Democrats have fired up the “mean to handicapped people” machine.
