Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday said the political atmosphere is good for Republicans heading into the midterms but warned that the party could bungle its chances if “unacceptable” candidates win their primaries but go on to lose in November.

He’s absolutely right. Of course no one here wants to hear it. I can think of multiple examples of slam dunks where Republicans put up lousy candidates and lost.

And how about Roy Moore. We actually lost to the Dems in Alabama of all places!

McConnell gets richer as minority leader, doing deals with Demoncrats, than he can ever do if Republicans are the majority. He WANTS true conservatives to lose, and he’ll work to make it happen.

Morgan Ortagus in Tennessee supported Jeb Bush in 16 and got married by the left’s
queen, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. ... Ponder on that one for a while folks. Married by Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The most depraved issue to ever hit this country is the transgender push on our children. And Dr.Oz was the pioneer.

Kewpie doll for the first to guess who endorsed them both.

Yes, politicians like McConnell are risking Republican victories in the midterms. He should retire and resign.

Moore was a flawed candidate. When bad candidates run, they will lose.

“Acceptable”, i.e., loyal to Mitch McConnell.

He’s got a point — a lot of the candidate he’s supporting could lose.

Bush Leaguers will undermine conservative candidates and assist the Democrats, they have done it before.

Mitch only wants to elect Assistant Democrats like himself.

There is absolutely no reason to engage in this election if we are going to send Mitch McConnell Republicans to Washington.

“unacceptable” candidates? He must be referring to Dr. Oz.

Snakehead Carville once referred to Pennsylvania as being Alabama between Pittsburg and Philadelphia. The “T” section of Pennsylvania is not gong to vote for a Turkish Islamist from New Jersey.

If Oz is the nominee, say hello to Frankenstein Fetterman as the junior senator of Pennsylvania.

True. Genuine crackpots and inarticulate amateurs can screw up a done deal. It would be wise for our people to run like they are behind, not a lap ahead.

Translation: we will oppose and sabotage any non Rino non GOPe candidates.

This is why they need to lose.

Do not vote for any Rino GOPe.
