[Mr. N. Wolfe]

What’s the difference between Sarah Palin supporting John McCain and Rand Paul supporting Mitch McConnell?

A lot of highly respected Conservatives voted for Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority Leader and John Boehner as Speaker.

If Rand Paul’s support of Mitch McConnell failed the litmus test then pretty much all of the candidates are going to fail the litmus test.

Is Mitch the problem or the solution?

That should answer your question.

What’s the difference between Sarah Palin supporting John McCain and Rand Paul supporting Mitch McConnell?

You have to be kidding. If the 2008 ticket had turned on itself for 2010, it would have dominated that election cycle in the news and the narrative and would have destroyed our history making gains of the 2010 election, and McCain would still have easily won.

On the other hand, Paul cut off the tea party in 2013.
