“J.D. Hayworth lost his congressional seat in Arizona after taking a tough stance on the border.”
The GOP and White House did not back him at all! Rove treated him like dirt.

This typifies one of the biggest problems facing conservative Republicans, or what is left of us. The globalist, utopian socialists within. Washington quit serving America a long time ago. Between them and the “America for sale for votes” socialists, they don’t leave us much to work with. Hayworth was a good example of what loyalty to America in the Republican party gets for you.
I’m beginning to believe they were taken down by “their own” (i.e. GOP) just so Rove et al could say “told you so.”
That being said, no one in DC had a vote in J.D.'s election. If he didn't convince the folks in his own state, who he had represented for years, I doubt even if the folks in DC supported him, he'd have had a chance.
The Whitehouse didn't vote for his opponent, members of the 5th district in Arizona did. It's getting to where it's no longer amusing to read about how the GOP selects candidates and the poor voters don't have a choice. BS, the voters decide every election, both in the primaries and the general election.
