Could be we need to give more money. Our contributions are smaller but there are more of them, something the article doesn’t mention. Democrats have the billionaires, something campaign finance reform didn’t fix.
What about all the successful Governors who don’t want into the ‘world’s greatest deliberative body?’ They’re taking a pass. Former gov. Justice(WV.) is it. Again follow the RINO into battle. WV should be low-hanging fruit. Just pick it.
Montana-Gianforte after just one term? Not gonna happen.
VA-GOP Gov. with a star at Lt. Gov? Dream on.
Penn-McCormick would have been a better nominee. 20-20 hindsight.
Would it be too much to ask someone to be a sacrificial lamb to make the rats put their resources in a ‘secure’ seat? Scott Walker comes to mind. Then there’s the ‘team player’ Governors in Vt. and Md.-you know the frumpy one. BJ was one and he ended up winning.
No one will run without a guarantee of money. It’s back on us.
*Before we condemn these potential candidates let’s see what type of makeup they have first.*
Like the democrats we are guilty of going for ‘the flash’. (BJ-Kenyan) Ollie North had no business running back way back when. I was such a big fan of Treasury’s Wm. Simon I was drawn to Jr. for Calif Gov.(2002). He was down-right stupid. Sharon Angle?
Once we’re locked into the primary winner we’re stuck. We end up giving the rats and the MSM a single target to focus on.
