Here is my perfect-world scenario

Problem is, we don't live in a perfect world. What will happen is:

McConnell & Boehner will both be relected, and become the GOPEe "leadership". They will set the agenda. Of course, that agenda will be anti-Conservative in every possible way, but both will come out and talk about how much political capital the GOPe has now against the Tea Party, and it shows just how far right and radicalized the Tea Party really is, and that's gonna piss off a whole lot of Tea Part COnservatives, who then WILL stay home, or at least certainly vote 3rd party in 2016, and by 2020 the GOPe will have pissed off it's entire base, Democrats will be in the majority and will hold the White House for some time.

I say screw it. Rip the bandage off quickly, now, and get us to where we're headed before I'm too damn old to put up a good fight.

You never know.. remember how quickly TEA got their game together and un-seated Cantor after the GOPe left Cuccinelli swinging in the breeze. If it LOOKS like we can afford to jettison one seat, Kentucky TEA could do the same to Turtle.

Kansas shouldn’t even be in play. If it were safe for us, we could pull a Cochran and help GOTV for Grimes, problem solved.

Boehner won 79% of the primary vote, so it would take an EXTREMELY motivated TEA effort to send him packing via the Cochran model with Brat-style coordination.

If we fight the GOPe at the last minute like they have us all year long, with their same ‘dirty’ tricks, we could ditch them but the coordination would have to start NOW.
