27. So inefficient

Electoral politics is such an incompetent way to move an agenda. The GOP doesn't ask how high because Ted Cruz or Rand Paul says something, they do it because AFP, the low-church right, or another pressure group tells them to jump. If you want to actually get something done, pressure with the threat of defunding a candidate, funding a rival, or actually switching party support is by far the most effective.

I don't mean that electoral politics can't be valuable, it just won't get much of anything done without actual pressure from the outside. If electoral politics really was a cure-all, Harry Reid would have killed the filibuster in 2009 and moved legislation.
