I might agree with your assumption about CA and NY, except I live in NY and grew up in CA. We are not commies or hyper-liberals. We have hopelessly entrenched RINO leadership in the Republican party here, and the TEA candidates who managed to win the primary were attacked by them publicly, while they endorsed the Democraps instead.
So, tell me, just whose side are they really on? And it’s not really that much different than what happened to Sharon Angle or Christine Odonnell.
Your assumtion that RINOs win in what appears to be blue-state mentality or even purple-state is incorrect. The economy is a mess and we’ve been strapped with hyper-liberals making the mess larger. Republicans should have won big nearly everywhere Democraps are in power, but they didn’t. So if you can tell me why, without making broad assumptions about the voters that you cannot prove, then maybe I’ll be able to at least understand your logic that we should run RINOs eveywhere.
Look, I’m from NY. I have lots of family up there, including my mother, so please don’t take offense when I’m talking about the electorate of these states in general terms.
Obviously, NYC is the fly in the ointment when it comes to sending these corruptocrats to Albany and Washington. We know they would never, ever elect a Pat Toomey as Senator, but I’m not even convinced you could go across the Hudson, clone Chris Christie (an indifferent social conservative but fierce fiscal hawk) and elect him in that state anymore. They are so entrenched in public sector unions that it is near impossible to win there. It wouldn’t have been a blowout like with Paladino, but I think he would still lose.
