If McConnell is the Republican leader, and if he wants to be the majority leader, then why isn't McConnell sharing his expertise with neighbor Tillis?

This is the fundamental problem with McConnell - no desire to extend coattails or craft a national Senate campaign where the winners help the strugglers.

In other words, no vision of what leadership really is.

He did craft a national campaign... against the TEA Party and any GOP candidate supported by the Senate Conservatives Fund and stuff.

Tillis is making really dumb, obvious mistakes.

I don’t know whether McConnell is giving Tillis advice or not, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he was and Tillis was ignoring it.

And the reason why you hire campaign consultants is to bring an outside perspective and insight from other races. Tillis should have people actively looking at what other successful campaigns are doing (and what McConnell is doing is well known) and figuring out how to adapt and apply it to the NC race.

I have no idea if he has or he hasn’t.
