It’s MassachusettEs. He’s the best you’re gonna get as far as a Republican Senator. That’s like the Dems lamenting that they can’t get left-wing lunatics elected down here in Texas. There are electoral realities you can’t escape.

There are electoral realities you cannot escape. Every time the Republican party has leaned progressive, as Scott Brown pulls it, it has been relegated to the wilderness by the voters. Hence, we are better off without that seat if it cannot be counted on when it is needed most. Otherwise it pulls the party leftward and into the wilderness.

We should all remember that when Scott Brown won the Massachusetts Senate seat in 2010 he became the deciding vote that saved us all from Nancy Pelosi’s House version of Obamacare.

Alas, we still ended up with Obamacare. But the version of Obamacare that the Senate was able to water down after Scott Brown was elected was not as completely horrendous as the Nancy Pelosi version of the bill would have been. Leftists are still furious that they didn’t get “single-payer” in the version of Obamacare that ultimately passed.

Scott Brown’s victory also added to the momentum that led to historic Republican victories in the 2010 mid-term elections.

I didn’t say it would be better to have Warren. I just don’t think he was much better than you average liberal of any party. We have more Conservative Democrats here in NC.

Give me a break. He lost re-election to a clown, an honest-to-God clown, the most hideous joke of a Senate candidate I can remember in my lifetime. Surely the rat party will find someone just a tad less clownish to run against him again. And he’ll lose again.

People who slam Brown do not understand the Left. So eager to attack Republicans who aren’t pure, they lump all apostates together. But the Left has their purists too. Warren is no Brown. She isn’t even Landrieu. Raw , dangerous sly Marxist in the henhouse and that’s not hyperbole.
