Do you think they're going to turn out and "crawl over broken glass" to save Mitch after what he's done to the base? Hell, they probably wouldn't crawl over stacks of $100 bills.

The reality that some refuse to face is that the ONLY choice is the Obama-loving Dems or less than perfect Republicans.
Just remember how this “victory” turned out ultimately — handing an R seat over to the Dems:

“Conservative rival Richard Mourdock easily wins Indiana’s Republican Senate primary over the 35-year incumbent. He will face Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly in the general election.”
