I see that as a way of expressing your sentiments, but not as a way of gaining and exercising political power. If Hagan wins, we lose as she will vote for Reid as leader of the Democrats and may well be the seat that decides the control of the Senate. A vote for Haugh is the same as a blank ballot, neither candidate can win. A vote for Tillis could go either way. He could be a Hagan in trousers with an “R” by his or he could be like many politicians and ride along with the conservative wave.

Conservatives brought this dilemma upon themselves by letting whoever wanted to run go up against Tillis, giving him an unearned run. We have to learn how to cull the herd early so we don’t end up diluting our vote. We also need to learn how to win elections. I don’t see much evidence of that happening.

That's short term thinking. In the long term, if liberal republican can't get elected, they will quit running.

This isn't going to be turned around in one election.
