It wasn’t the Libertarian that was the problem, it was the disgruntled Lugarite RINOs who voted for Donnelly.
True to an extent, and Murdoch sh!t in his messkit in the debate.
Bottom line, another lost Senate seat for 6 long years.
I would say the Libertarian was also a problem, clearly he got votes from Republicans unwilling to vote for Mr. Foot in mouth, though Donnelly just topped 50% according to Dave Leip’s atlas.
