Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, the GOP establishment, etc., have a bad habit of attacking the GOP's base.

They did the same after the red tsunami in 2010, when the Tea Party delivered over 60 GOP seats to the House. They blamed the Tea Party for choosing poor candidates in the GOP Senate primaries; otherwise, it was contended, the GOP would have picked more Senate seats.

This crowd was also anti-Reagan decades ago, and supported Gerald Ford, another electoral disaster.

It's time for McConnell and this gang to go. They take credit for raising and spending hundreds of millions of dollars and then blame conservatives (the base) when their efforts fall short. We don't need any lectures from them.
