The conservative doesn’t have to win. It’s called “strategy”, and until we use it we’ll never change the Party. Exactly the point I tried to make about the Mississippis (Cochran) and Kentucky (McConnell) races. If the Tea Party folk had voted for the Democrat, those race baiting tactics they used in Mississippi (Which McConnell helped pay for) would have been seen to have backfired.
The Democrat Senators thus created would not be able to hold their seats in the next election, but the message to the establishment would have been sent and hear, loud and clear.
Don't F*** with us or we will end you. Now they sit there emboldened, and convinced they can get away with anything.
Yes, we should have used some strategy.
I don’t think the strategy will be appropriate in the Senate next year The balance is too close.
Cochran would have been a good one, but that election was exceptional. Heck, Mitch would have been a good one too- we’d have still had the majority.
In the House though if we cut out merely a half dozen selected highly-placed RINOs (and assuming the Dems will take back a dozen or so RINO seats because of the presidential election type turnout) it’d bring a WORLD of change to the caucus and the Party.
Funny, here’s a strategy the “support Republicans” and the “throw out the Republicans” groups could agree on yet neither will consider it LOL!
