      1. To the extent there's an argument in favor of Loomer, it is simply that she is famous & popular enough with a narrow segment of national/international supporters to draw money & eyeballs to an unwinnable race. Historically, this is not a winning strategy.https://twitter.com/janecoaston/status/1296152986478157825 …

      Jane CoastonVerified account @janecoaston
      One thing I have contemplated here is: what exactly is the policy prescription Loomer is offering? What’s the propositional argument in favor of Loomer, specifically, and not another Republican? https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1296138857407225857 …

      Laura Loomer is the Christine O'Donnell of Todd Akins.

      I am glad O’Donnell kept a RINO out of the Senate

      This confuses me. Wouldn't a RINO vote for your interests at least some of the time, while a Democrat is going to vote far-Left on practically every issue? Letting perfect be the enemy of mediocre (resulting in complete failure) seems bad.

      I still disagree. I'd rather have someone who will vote for Republican/conservative policies 20% of the time than a Democrat who will vote for what I want 0% of the time. We can only elect someone as conservative as the district allows.

      Replying to @joey_jj_jr @therrera789 and

      Scott Brown may have been the most conservative we could expect a Massachusetts Senator to be, realistically. Whereas, in Utah or Texas, it's fair to try to primary incumbents to get a strongly conservative politician in office. Local preferences matter.

      Castle was pretty awful, but he'd still have been better than Chris Coons.

          Dan ,I remember that race..Castle made no attempt to reach out to conservatives..was the witch crazy?Yea...but he never acknowledged that conservatives were unhappy with his liberalism...of course he didn’t have the grace to endorse her..and his career ended unceremoniously.
