Don't doubt there are plenty of competent stats analysts within the party national committee who will pound this presidential campaign failure up everyone's ass, so the leaders learn, just like Goldwater in '64, and for the Democrats, McGovern in '72.

Complete failure always leads to a strong pivot away from the reasons for the failure.
Tea party darling and Koch bros favorite, Huelskamp got his ass handed to him last night in Kansas with the help of John Boehner.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving 'bagger.

Is that the same Nate Silver that gave him a 0% chance of winning the nomination?

What's worse is that there are actually a measurable percentage of voters willing to vote for a crook like Trump. Gotta love that your guy is facing a RICO lawsuit here in California.

The Republican Party hasn't been "fine" since Eisenhower was President.

The Republican establishment is just as bad as the Tea Party, maybe worse.

The Republican Party establishment gave us the Iraq War, Abu Ghraib, Waterboarding, the subprime debacle, the Wall Street meltdown and bail out, huge tax cuts for the wealthy and the resulting ballooning federal deficit.

And that's just a small sample.

My worst nightmare is that the Republican Party is able to weed out the Tea Partiers and regain credibility so that they can continue with their caustic, destructive right wing agenda.

Is that anything like an FBI investigation?

Yes TJ, exonerated.

You should start practicing saying Madame President Clinton now. It's coming and there's nothing you and your fellow Trumpies can do to stop it.

You can throw everything but the kitchen sink but at the end of the day you still have an 800lb gorilla with no clothes on sitting next to you on the couch.
