The desire to avoid bad candidates is an understandable goal. It’s shared by every wing of the GOP. But because of the toxicity of the GOP establishment brand today, meddling in primaries actually makes it more likely, not less likely that bad candidates will win primaries in the future. Instead of primaries being about the candidates and their flaws, going forward, they will be about Mitch McConnell and K Street as long as he publicly interferes.
The question now is: will McConnell learn this lesson? How many more seats do we have to lose?
McConnell won't learn a damn thing until he's removed from the position of Senate Majority Leader. The only question is will that happen BEFORE the GOP loses it's majority?

In my experience the Peter Principle is true for most organizations.
The best rarely make it to the top. turtleboy and ryan are from the old gop/mccain school and focus only on good press and feeding the beast that is government. They do not care what The People want or think, we are only livestock to feed their coffers.
Career protection is ruining the Republic at all levels
