I have reached the belief that RNC does not want to end this battle any more than the DNC. Both have used it greatly for years to raise donations.
We need to make McConnell unemployed. The traitor needs to go.
Yep. I’ll hold my nose and vote for Grimes. The first time I will have voted for a democrat since 1972. Putting the R’s in charge of both houses is a very high priority. Cleaning out the GOP is a higher priority.
First things first.

I’m done with that paradigm.
Make McConnell’s 15 minutes END
But the primary is already over. Try again in six years.
If more people vote for the more liberal candidate, you believe the GOP will take that as a voter preference for more conservative candidates?
The time to make that push is in the primary. I can understand withholding the vote in the general election, but voting for the most liberal is not making your point, in my opinion.
If conservatives farther down the ticket in smaller local elections get more votes than the RINO's near the top, it may help to convey the "No RINO" point.
Well Mitch. If you are not going to repeal Obamacare we really don’t have any use for you. You have had several years, and as of today absolutely no results.
I am discussed that he thinks that is all we care about.
No and no.
We may need McConnell for control of the Senate but it’s a disgrace this rotten, cadaverous old RINO was re-nominated.
Choosing him as majority leader would be further rewarding incompetence and duplicity and cowardice.
Politics is local. McConnel needs to be removed, one way or the other.
This has nothing to do with the primary. This has to do with Deliberate efforts by McConnell to damage and marginalize the Tea Party. McConnell helped to pay for those Racist attack ads against Chris McDaniel in Mississippi, and McConnell needs to go.
McConnell trod on the Tea Party, now McConnell needs to get bitten.
In that we agree. But I do not believe electing the democrat shows support for the Tea Party.
He added: "If we have a new majority next year, and a new majority leader, the Keystone pipeline will be voted on on the floor of the Senate, something the current majority has been avoiding for literally years."
Whereupon McConnell futilely scanned the horizon looking for takers.
I think they will take it as "Don't deliberately piss on them or they will bite you."
Yes, it's important to gain seats in the Senate, but it is *MORE* important not to let people attack us in such a way that we will LOSE seats.
McConnell just took a sure thing Mississippi Senate seat, and may have very well flipped it to the Democrat. If we lose that seat it will be because McConnell would rather have a Democrat sitting in it than a Tea Party Reform candidate.
If McConnell is willing to let the seat go Democrat instead of letting one of us win it, why shouldn't we give him a taste of his own medicine?
Beyond that, his tactic of accusing the Tea Party of racism will very likely be used again in the elections two years from now, if he is not seen as having paid a price for stooping so low.
The Tea Party's future is in jeopardy if McConnell gets away with that tactic.
How on earth do you expect him to do that?
Do you think he's President?
I doubt there is a Republican who if became Senate majority leader would NOT bring the Keystone XL pipeline up for a vote.
The first thing McConnell would do is announce Power Sharing with his fellow nutjob Harry
McConnell and his band of RINO’s have done nothing except enable
Harry Reid and his liberal bills by voting for cloture numerous times.
