I wasn't aware Chris McDaniel losing resulted in a Democratic pick up? As for Joe Miller, he lost to a write-in candidate in a red state, how is that not on him? Furthermore, again, make your "RINO" jokes all you want, but Lisa Murkowski is not a Democrat, so again, it's moot.
I'm not sure what you're referring to with Allen. He narrowly lost in a purple state in a Democratic wave election after he himself said "macaca." The "GOP backstabbers" didn't mind control him into saying that.
It seems to me you want to blame every loss on some intangible entity rather than the candidates themselves.
That isn't the criteria. The Criteria is whether the person who got the seat was a good fit with the Washington establishment system, and you know the answer to that question.
Cochran is a good little RINO who can always be counted on to support the Washington DC spending party.

Did he mention anything about Island's flipping over, or having to pass something to find out what was in it?
"Macaca" was a made up scandal in which our side fully accepted and embraced the Democrat Media Weapon's characterization of it as "beyond the pale racism". We not only let them savage him, people on our side jumped onto the dog pile.
I've made this point often. Democrats invariably say idiotic stupid things, and the media weapon passes them over. Our people sometimes say something that wasn't well thought out, and the media weapon focuses on it like a laser beam, and all our party stalwarts then agree with them that it's outrageous, and our side just needs to lose.
"I'm not a witch". "Macaca". "Women's bodies have ways of stopping pregnancy when conceived through rape." (which happens to have a basis in medical fact) and so forth.
Many people say stupid things on occasion, and Democrats say stupider things than most, but Democrats do not backstab their own candidates, and the Democrat media weapon does not attack them when they say stupid things.
George allen was a two term former governor and incumbent US senator that was on track to run for the white house when he lost. Chris McDaniel beat cockroach then lost in the primary run off when black democratic cross overs were brought in by the GOP (not a conspiracy, but the truth) to take out Chris in he primary run-off. Sharon Angle was in the lead in EVERY single poll from 6 months out and lost by $50K votes to Harry Reid, that was a total scam vote. Not a single poll ever had her behind. Delaware was to be taken by a congressman RINO Castle to hold for Biden’s boy and then retire. the establishment went bazurk when she won. They refused to support her and Castle would have never won reelection. Republicans eat their own. Joe Wilson beat the COW for heavens sake winning the GOP nomination and the GOP spent the $ to do a write in for the COW. If Joe isn’t one of us, no one is. The GOP is against us, don’t shoot our own.
