The GOP won't be nominating clowns again [View all]

It cost them most of Virginia and now a Senate seat. The GOP is most likely going to get the "nominate the most morally repugnant candidate to piss off the SJW's" wing (AKA Trumpists) in line. There won't be another Moore. The adults, such as they are, will try and take charge and bring the 4chan brigade to heel.

We need to replicate our successes with turnout here throughout the country. Not relying on the GOP to step on a rake.
