Good read, especially the 2nd half which includes this.
But the real question is, why does this happen in the first place? Why does Steve Bannon have to bust his chops to run around America helping all these GOP candidates take on the likes of Jeff Flake in the first place?
The answer is as simple as it is stark. The hard fact of life is that, long ago, the Republican establishment sold out to the left. Goldwater called the Eisenhower administration a “dime-store New Deal,” where the GOP leadership basically surrendered to Democrats by insisting whatever was at issue was OK but could be done more cheaply or just managed better.
