Incumbents lost. They chose people who the normal Republican couldn't support, ie Dist 8 in AZ. We lost that seat because that district was more moderate than who we gave it to in the primaries against the RNC. And what about Chaffee and Burns and Allen. The RNC gave them bigtime money and they all three still lost.
Agreed. To emphasize this, the state party leaders are meeting this month in most states to evaluate what happened and what changes we want. For anyone who wants to get their opinions on the table, now is the time to do it.
