I really can’t understand why we’re not supporting Mitch. We need to take the Senate. This is insane to support a candidate who is getting 20% of the vote backing.

Let’s smartin up here.

I’m sure I’ll get some wrath here, but that’s my opinion.

If he were a true Republican I’d understand your sentiment but you forget what a RINO is and does. They’re spies for the Democrats and follow their orders.

Oh good Lord. These kinds of posts aren't even worth a response anymore.

I have no issue with primary challenges by sacrificial candates to keep the incumbents honest, Conservative and aware of who they work for.

I also have no problem with primary challenges against underperforming incumbents in areas where the seat is going to be retained by a Republican regardless.

What I don’t support are pyrric victory primary challenges where an underperforming but electable incumbent gets tossed by someone who can’t win in the general.

Like Mourdock beating Lugar last cycle. Hard not to see that as a waste that ended up making Conservatives feel good in the short term, but hurt us in the long term.

I’m supportive of the Lindsay Graham challenge in SC. And was supportive of the McCain challenge in AZ. But increasingly wary of Bevins in KY. Too much is at stake for us to go the cut off our noses to spite our face route again ...

And Romney was “electable”.

I’m going for the brass ring on this one. The only thing worse than a democrat is a career politician.

I am glad to see the realization here, that taking the Senate out of Reid’s hands is more important than getting rid of McConnell.

The reason the clean debt ceiling bill couldn’t be amended is because Reid shuts them all down.

Why do “we” need to take the Senate if the RINO’s just give us Dem-lite?

But what good is a majority of the Senate if the are composed of RINOs. Let’s be real here.

There you go again nikos. We don’t need Mitch to take the Senate. FIRST OF ALL: Polls show that Bevin will defeat Grimes but McConnell won’t. SECONDLY: We will take 9 seats from the DemocRATS without any help from Mitch “Harry Reid’s Bitch” McConnell.
