The “quality” of the republican candidates now has nothing to do with the republican’s big losses. Take California, where I live (and Burt too). You could run Jesus Christ as a Republican candidate against a Democrat in any of their strongholds and Jesus would lose.
The reason is that Democrats vote for hand-outs and avoidance of personal responsibility.
Consider how the Democrats’ party platform is made up of lies, give-aways, and false characterizations of their political enemies.
Case closed.
So how do you explain Eric Cantor’s loss in the VA primary?
The rest of the USA is not California.
