Does anyone here seriously believe that Donnelly has ANY chance in the general elections in November?

The Dems would use his win in the primary to tar and feather all other Republican/tea-party candidates. Just think back at the last few elections where the Dems turned the most minor negative issues into “big deals” — that’s how they won majority in the Senate.

It’s time to think strategically -— losing is NOT a winning strategy. The losers have no impact on anything.

Golly gee, then why is Rove pushing Kashkari, who he already said would lose??

I say go for broke! Milquetoast moderate candidates do not win. Witness November 2012 when all the Establishment candidates went down in flames, and they were all “thinking strategically.”

You mean we can't have a candidate who supports the 2nd Amendment, is against the extension of benefits to illegal aliens, wants our immigration laws enforced, and is proud of his religious faith?

The Dems can have an admitted drug user (including cocaine)in the WH who was elected twice with the largest number of votes any Presidential candidate has ever received. They can have an impeached former President enjoy a 67% approval rating despite lying under oath, allegedly raping a woman, groping others, and receiving BJs in the Oval Office from an intern and sticking cigars in her vagina. And his wife will more than likely be the first woman President of the United States despite being responsible for placing our people in harm's way in Benghazi and then concocting a phony video story.

The Dem's lion of the Senate, Teddy Kennedy, allowed a young girl to die in his car and did nothing to get help. We had the most senior Dem in the Senate be a former KKK wizard. And the list goes on and on.

The reason the Dems have been so successful in smearing Rep candidates, especially conservatives, is that the Reps join in to destroy their own people. It is a circular firing squad.

And exactly on what basis would Donnelly be "tarred and feathered?"

Just think back at the last few elections where the Dems turned the most minor negative issues into “big deals” — that’s how they won majority in the Senate.

And they will continue to do that until the Reps get some cajones and stop running away from a fight by sacrificing their own people. The Dems never do that. Loyalty begets loyalty.

We are not winning if we are afraid of standing up for our principles. Yes, Donnelly will not win in the bluest of blue states, California, but he deserves our support. He will lose because CA has been turned blue by immigration, legal and illegal. The Dem strategy is to turn the country the same way using immigration. And they are very successful as more and more states turn purple and then blue. Color NV, CO, and NM gone. VA, FL, AZ, and NC are heading in that direction.

It is time to take a stand and not be cowed by political correctness and incompetent political consultants who are leading us over a cliff. Unless we reduce legal immigration, the country is finished.
