Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell warned Republican voters on Tuesday to not take victory for granted in the upcoming midterm elections.

Mr. McConnell, Kentucky Republican, said that although the political environment heavily favored the GOP this cycle, it was still possible to “screw this up” by nominating flawed candidates.

Mr. McConnell said Republicans had made the mistake of nominating bad candidates in 2010 and 2012.

Mitch has two simple qualifications in mind as defining worthy candidates: do they support his retention as Leader; and do they agree to vote his way on the issues when he needs them to.
