There are more votes out there for other candidates but it appears
the Dems have more voters to the polls than the GOP.

No, democrats are not 200% worse than liberal republicans. If Grimes wins the general election, there won't be much change in votes that support Reid's agenda. McConnell has been voting to support Reid's agenda if you hadn't noticed.

So it's a wash, except that there won't be a liberal bastard in the GOP leadership position.

And Grimes is going to win in November. She's got more absolute votes in her primary than the entire slate of pubbies in their primary.

John Cornyn is one happy weasel right now over McConnell's dismal showing vs. Grimes.

the Tea Party seems to be the best thing
the radical left has going for it.

That's ok. Cornball will have to win or lose in November without my vote. That liberal bastard may have won the primary, but I won't be voting for him in the general.

All incumbents have to do is make the people

This is the problem right here. People that can be manipulated by a politician to believe anything are a danger to themselves and others. It was Reagan who said trust but verify. In this Age of the Internet people have no excuse.

“And Grimes is going to win in November. She’s got more absolute votes in her primary than the entire slate of pubbies in their primary.”

That is significant! The dems would love to draw blood and win where they can. They will go all out to defeat McConnell. And a ton of conservatives will stand back and let them.

I suppose we should look into Grimes’ positions.

Hope you’re wrong about Grimes winning. Maybe head to head a dem’s no worse than a lib rino but all in all it’s not a wash. You win a small victory getting Mitch out and lose the war.

We CANNOT make a difference if we’re in the minority. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water, sheesh.

“ask Todd Aikin”

Yeah, not a Tea Party candidate. He was endorsed by Mike Huckabee and Claire McCaskill.

Reports in AR are that LOTS of Democrats are crossing voter and voting in the Republican primary for Curtis Coleman (R) because they believe he can’t beat Mike Ross (D)in November. Asa Hutchinson (R) probably can.

Todd Akin won his primary because the fiscal conservatives he ran against were not hardliners on immigration like he was.

The media will define anyone as “Tea Party” if they think it will hurt the movement.

One thing Reagan did that none of these clowns, including Bevin, seem to be able to do was deflect criticism.

I’ll never forget him saying he wouldn’t hold his opponent’s lack of experience against him. Blew the whole age thing right out of the water.

It’s not about the “r” next to McConnell’s name. He is a vile and dangerous oligarch who should be removed from power. And should not be granted the power he lusts after.

Mitch convinced tens of thousands of people that Bevin wasn’t a good candidate so they stayed home. He stupidly thought that it’d make them vote for him.

Dead man walking and he did it to himself.

They don't make a damn bit of difference when they have a majority. I don't know if you slept through the last Senate GOP majority, but they legislated like liberals and spent like drunken sailors.

If they were actually conservative, your argument might have merit, but they aren't.

Wake up and smell the coffee. A majority of liberal republicans that have OPENLY DECLARED WAR on conservatism aren't going to suddenly govern like conservatives. They will govern like what they are... liberals.

If you vote for a liberal republican, you ARE a liberal.

So you just discount Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Ben Sasse, any conservative who fought their heart out to get into the belly of the beast and defeat it, they’re what, collateral damage? Because if they don’t have the majority, they can’t do squat.
