I can only conclude we have a lot of young people here who haven’t seen many campaigns. The first time I saw and heard JD Hayward speak I knew he would lose. Guy should have done the Joe Isuzu commercials. You live in a fantasy world if you thought he could take down an entrenched machine politican like Juan.
Also looks like a lot of independent and democrat voters meddled in the Republican Primary just like in 2008.

Yep, there are a lot of posters, I've noticed, who don't think the political party machinery counts for anything. It does, and that's why an organized campaign with the major party machinery is something to have, for conservatives, if they really want to change things around in politics and defeat the Democrats. You just have to have a well-oiled and functioning party machinery mechanism to get these Democrats out of office and/or to change the vote-balance in Congress in order to push a conservative agenda there.
I did say to several that I didn't think the challenger was going anywhere, but there was really no use in trying to get anyone's mind changed that thought different. The primary election was the best way to drive that point home. And now that it's over, that point should have been made now.
So, we can move on to getting things done in Congress and fighting against the Democrats and their agenda.
