Tips on how to win
From the guy that lost. The GOP is a real head-scratcher these days.
Reminds me of a conversation I had today on the GOP’s issues. Democrats march lock step with democrats. They just do. Republicans have in their base conservatives, tea partiers, libertarians and evangelicals. And more, certainly. It’s why you had roughly 57,000 primary primary candidates in 2012.
But they keep running moderate establishment guys. Who, instead of pissing off one of those base members, pisses all of them off.

Get used to saying “President Elizabeth Warren”, it’ll make the election results hurt less.

What a gem from the WaPo article:
“Rep. Brat and his supporters were not invited, Cobb said, because the meeting was not focused on the district but on a statewide effort to expand the party by reaching out to minorities and other groups who might not normally vote Republican.
“We are not going to win statewide [by] just talking to conservative Republicans or just tea party Republicans. We’ve got to go beyond that to win.”
Not only was Brat not invited, his spokesman said, he didn’t even know it was happening.”

Yeah, Cobb, keep telling yourself your spineless political party that it doesn’t need conservative and Tea Party members to win elections. What lunacy…

So those dumbass “establishment” R’s are seeking to expand the party by further watering it down into a slightly less unpalatable version of the ‘rats. That just leaves us with people to vote against. I want someone I can vote for.

Mr Evilwrench, there are always people to vote FOR, which I do. But the political-media establishment has pervasively propagandized against that with which the vast majority of “the sheeple”comply.

Dems just do a plausibly better job of acknowledging that massive economic inequality might be problematic, then they get distracted by stupid culture war issues sponsored by rich white housewives in Connecticut and California.
