Now now, I’m certain the gentleman in question would not back the rat running against Cantor, he doesn’t oppose 90% conservative Republicans like the rocket scientists we have shilling for McConnell’s opponent.
It’s only safe rat districts where he backs democrats that appear to be “moderate” or “normal Americans” in comparison to the others, even when they have little to no chance (in the case of your district, poor as it was the Republican had a much better chance at winning the general election than his guy did of winning the rat primary)
I agree that’s a waste of time, long odds for very little “payoff”. Speaking broadly, any effort to moderate the rat party is doomed to spectacular failure. If you’re gonna tilt at windmills, I say do it for conservative Republican candidates.
