There must be some major SHOCKWAVES rolling through Washington DC.
And with any luck through the entire GOP establishment.
The HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER, second only to Speaker of the House, just lost his seat in Congress by losing his primary seat to an underfunded, first time candidate with zero political experience!
Add to this stunning loss the fact that Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, only managed to take about 60% of his primary voters, that incumbent Thad Cochoran is in a run-off election and is running behind his challenger, the fact that John Boehner only managed about 65% of his primary votes . . . etc etc etc
What that SHOULD mean to the ESTABLISHMENT GOP leadership is that their leadership SUCKS
If the GOP has not learned from this stunning loss then the party is doomed. If the party wises up, and I doubt they will, then maybe, just maybe they have a chance at growing the base.
BUT one thing is sure, the GOP will win in November because of the unpopularity of the Democrats . . . NOT because the GOP is popular, because it is not.
