GOBUCKS, the 'Tea Party candidate' had run as a Dem the last three election cycles. The only reason he got the Tea Party nod was that he self-financed. What really happened was that the Republican candidate didn't respond to the attacks on the Ryan Plan for Medicare. I know what went on. The Republican candidate couldn't articulate the Ryan Plan, and she suffered because of it.
You may know that, and the party may know that. The majority of the electorate, who in that district would never want a democrat elected, only knew there were two people running against the democrat. The democrat got all the moonbats, and the other two guys split up the decent people.
It will happen every time there's a Ross Perot situation, which I'm afraid we're heading toward. The electorate isn't interested in political intrigue.
