Given that Matt Bevin just completely blew out McConnell in a Kentucky Republican straw poll, perhaps those fears are overblown media creations.

Could be, however, it doesn't hurt in this scenario to be safe and double-down against the likes of Karl Rove and the GOP-E.

We need to destroy their base of power AND defend those standing with us like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, etc.

Never let the enemy determine the field of battle. Use every resource to tactical advantage.

Over and over, I see "the professionals" wreck campaigns for their own benefit. The classic was when Bill Simon ran for governor and Parsky and crew stipulated Wilson Jones. The consultants tend to see everything through media and ad buys, in part, because they make their money on a percentage. It is this fee structure that has turned politicians into corporate whores, paying our enemies (the MSM) to get our message out and giving them advanced notice of every move.

I'm damned tired of it.
