just as memories of the shutdown evidently motivated Republicans to field more salable candidates

Moral of Michael Barone's story: Elect more RINO's. Conservatives cannot win.

My Question: When are conservatives going to wake up?

Umm, no. He specifically mentioned replacing Buck with Gardner in CO, one conservative for another; the difference is that Gardner was the more polished candidate and thus won handily what originally was viewed as an uphill race while Buck lost a 2010 race that we all thought was in the bag.

Cotton in AR is not a RINO. Sullivan in AK is not a RINO. Tillis in NC is not a RINO. Perdue in GA is not a RINO. Cassidy in LA is not a RINO. Rounds in SD is not a RINO. Daines in MT is not a RINO. Michael Barone is well aware of this, and when he referred to “more salable candidates” he was referring to conservatives who can win, not to RINOs.

Just before getting on that train to their worker paradise.
