"Why do Republicans keep shooting themselves in the foot running so many people?"

This was my first reaction also. It's beyond belief that there's so many in the field. This never should have happened in these iffy times for the GOP.

There should have been pressures applied, or deals made, arms twisted, or whatever it took to narrow the field. Phone calls, even from the Pres and the Veep plus the RNC Chair should have been made. This is how it's always been done and it should have been done this time. It's the fine art of politics. I went through it myself in my time in elected office.

This is just crazy.

By the bye, does anyone here know right-off-the bat the name of the present RNC Chair in DC?....the invisible one that took Prince Rebus's place? I'll betcha hardly anyone.

Hint: She's the grandaughter of the late George W. Romney and the niece of Mitt Romney.

I consider this a failure on the part of both the national and Georgia state GOP party apparatus.

I’ve seen it a few times, so it’s my fault for not knowing it, but it has been a rather low profile existence for her since becoming the chair.

Presented like this for those who wish to try to remember it for themselves:

BTW: I agree with you on the large field thing.

The Dems run one or two, and we dilute our numbers by putting in too many. Big mistake.

It was a joke how many ran for the presidency on our ticket starting in 2015.

Kudos to Trump for outlasting them all.

Boy the Romney info is depressing. If she is anything like him.

I agree with EVERYTHING you said. Too bad you’re not running it :)

And COOL about holding office.

And IFFY is a GRETA word to use. Let’s not assume anything.

The senate seems like a slam dunk and even pick up seats. The house, I dont know about but let’s win!!!

Even if most are GOPe. An R vote is better than a D vote

Gosh, folks; let's not forget we are talking about the Do-Nothing-Party who has shed responsibility for any established policies for some years now... What if one of these on-comers tried to end ObamaCare... Imagine the utter shame!
