Why does it seem that the Republicans just cannot close the deal?

“Why does it seem that the Republicans just cannot close the deal?”

Probably because of the lukewarm, milquetoast types of republicans that the Establishment prefers. In November 2012, all their candidates went down in flames.

The R candidate must be 100% pure conservative. If he/she isn't there's a group that would rather have a Democrat.

North Carolina is the perfect example. The hard line conservatives backed an OB/GYN with no experience in the primary. They're still p.o.'d he lost and would rather have the flaming liberal.
