But I suppose the Tea Party vetting their candidates BEFORE they blindly endorse them is out of the question?

But I suppose the GOPe vetting their candidates BEFORE they blindly endorse them is out of the question?

As evidence, I offer the following from 2012:

Pete Hoekstra, Denny Rehberg, Tommy Thompson, Connie Mack, Heather Wilson, Rick Berg, all preferred by GOPe, all of them lost.

Perhaps GOPe needs to do a better job of vetting, and supporting, their candidates.

Amen Right Night!

Let us not forget Meg Whitman, Carla Fiona in CA, as well.
They were big time RINO’s.

Both the GOP establishment AND the Tea Party have run some terrible candidates (though both sides will deny it and blame everyone else when their anointed candidate loses), no question about that.
