I would point out that this applies to both parties - remember, Hillary took the northern/Midwest union zone for granted and thereby lost to Trump.
There is a lot of dead wood in the upper reaches of GOP leadership both at the state and Federal level. Example: Recently the Republican who is Speaker of the Texas House decided to start asking conservative organizations in the state to help him purge fellow Republicans that were more conservative than he/not under his control. He would even have preferred Democrats be elected. We know this because one of the organizations was so aghast at his conduct they secretly (but legally) recorded a meeting he had with them in which he pressed for aid to eliminate these elected officials, even to the point of being replaced by Democrats, in exchange for favors he would grant the organization.
The party also needs to stop running losers just because they’re incumbents, because it’s “their turn”, etc., etc. Bevin was a jackass and even as an incumbent was a bad candidate with horrible optics.
Appreciate your post.
Yes, even Hillary took the northern/Midwest union zone for granted in her loss.
It just seems like the GOP is having to battle increasingly formidable odds almost everywhere.
True, Bevin was a pathetic campaign and deeply unpopular incumbent.
It, too, was a shame that so much effort by PDJT was put into Louisiana (three big rallies and a couple other visits thrown in), only to have Rispone come up short. These runoffs in the South for the GOP, splitting our side’s support, does make uniting against the democrats that much harder. IMO, Abraham was more impressive, but reports I read that even his own family contributed to Edwards were disconcerting.
Just praying that TPTB, get coordinated and prepared to do whatever it takes to carry the day next November.
Nothing must be left to chance, from recruiting viable candidates to thwarting ballot harvesting (cheating, fraud, etc.) by the RATS.
Thanks again for your post.
