Who has virtually no chance against the Democrat contender compared to mitch who is evenly tied. The primary should pretty much doom whomever wins it.

And conversely, the Democrat's lockstep unity is America's Achilles heel.

The parties are bought and paid for by big money interests.

When a party wins, America looses.

When the parties unite, American typically gets pounded in the ***.

Mitch aside, conservatives have taken the initiative to haul out their garbage.

Hopefully one day, liberals will make up lost ground.

Historically the GOP has moved in lockstep, its only been these last couple years where that has changed. Democrats tend to be a LOT less lockstep in general (despite your accusations). But as of late thats appeared to improve simply because theres really no major bills that are going through that have any compromise in them at all.

So it was with the Republicans at their height. Like the greatest of trees, able to withstand any external attack, the Republicans rotted from within...

Blevins is going to get a lot of Paul supporters and I think and hope Mitch is in trouble.

They want to kill the old Ceasar, so they can install a new Ceasar.
