The GOP’s biggest challenge is getting better candidates.

Good candidates just don’t fall from the sky, they have to want the job, and be willing to take the arrows that come with it.

Seems to me the bigger issue is changing hearts and minds through areas outside of politics. If your voter’s a brainwashed liberal based on all the media and education they’ve consumed their entire lives, one candidate isn’t going to be able to mind-wipe them in one election cycle. We had some good candidates like Dave Brat who lost this round.

Given near-zero possibility of career advancement (i.e. winning the presidency, which involves a whole other non-routine process), the strong possibility of being fired every 6 years, the impossibility of getting another job in the same line of work once fired and the likelihood of having to beg for a living (i.e. lobby) once fired, it’s more of a hobby than a job. The average voter is an imbecile. Who wants an imbecile for a boss in an unstable job with no long-term career prospects? Nobody who’s of sound mind.
