        Wow! I didn't expect that reaction. Did I hit a nerve?

            • It isn't an accident by the way that the Republicans made no major screwups or gaffes. They learned from 2012. There are a number of articles circulating about the centralization of the GOP senate leadership and donor groups in recruiting relatively moderate candidates, training them not to talk about rape or abortion, etc. and keeping on message.
              Which explains why Joni Ernst was outspokenly prolife on the campaign trail from day one? Or is that just another inconvenient fact that you disregard because it doesn't support your narrative that the only people who can win election are pro abortion?

              I'm sorry Reg - you're wrong here.

                He's not entirely wrong. They did make it a mission to have "No more Akins" and kept some of the more extreme candidates from running while putting the word out to the rest to STFU about issues of rape and sex.

                • My actual position on the matter isn't wrong at all; Ben's just (probably deliberately) misinterpreting it as usual. I never said only pro-abortion people could win. My point is that Republicans can win more easily when the megaconservatives aren't the ones on the ticket. The Republican leadership recognized this and worked very very hard to keep the crazies off the ballot. They also did a good job of keeping the nominees on message.

                  • They ran a candidate media relations bootcamp. Had their **** together and were worried that McDaniel was going to undo all their efforts. So they took him out Dem style.

                      Ernst ran on the exact same platform and won by 6. The real lesson here is that RINO backstabbery during the election suppresses turnout.

                        Then why did megaconservative Ernst win so easily in Iowa? That's my point. You can be a conservative and win.

                        It's the only formula that has worked for the GOP.

                        Name the last moderate republican to win a presidential election.

                          The real lesson here is that avoiding saying stupid **** to the press is probably a good strategy. It also doesn't hurt to have a good ad to introduce yourself with. I realize that maybe high level thinking but I trust you to figure out that it wasn't RINO backstabbery that threw away a gimme election. It was him saying stupid **** to the press. Somethings can't be spun away and he should have backed out and allowed the party to get someone else on the ballot. Seriously Ben, you're essentially blaming the Toronto City council for the political troubles of Rob Ford rather than the man's love of alcohol and crack. It's the same argument.

                            You're a ****ing idiot as usual. Ernst is the exception. In several cases this cycle establishment candidates beat out tea party ones and went on to win as a result. And the last GOP moderate to win was George Bush with his "compassionate conservatism." In Virginia, if the moderate candidate had won the primary last year we'd have a Republican governor.

                            Republicans lost the chance to get the senate in 2012 and 2010 in no small part because of terrible candidates who believe the same retarded bull**** you do.

                              Actually, you'd probably have had a GOP governor if the House hadn't been bit by the ACA shutdown bug and the RGA had put more resources into the campaign.

                                Ernst is not the exception. Pryor won. So did Brownback in KA. Conservatives can and do win.

                                Like Ted Cruz?

                                And the last GOP moderate to win was George Bush with his "compassionate conservatism."
                                Which was 25 years ago.

                                Your entire life has never seen a moderate republican win the presidency. Don't you think it's time to accept reality?

                                In Virginia, if the moderate candidate had won the primary last year we'd have a Republican governor.

                                No, Republicans lost in 2012 because Romney had negative coattails.
