[null and void]

The GOPe long since determined they'd rather lose than allow a TEA party candidate win.

They got their wish, and now they're complaining?

There's a reason rational people call it "The Stupid Party"!

The GOPe long since determined they'd rather lose than allow a TEA party candidate win.

The winning candidate must capture all of the GOP vote, about 35% in most years, and then 16% of everyone else, Independents, moderates, Democrats, Libertarians, Hari Krishnas, etc.
