Liberal and supposedly moderate Republicans seem unable to take no for an answer and to be unwilling to accept rejection by their party's voters.
Thus, when it became clear to Florida's wobbly GOP governor that he couldn't win his party's nomination to become its candidate for election to the U.S. Senate, he abandoned the party and is running for that office as an independent candidate.
Similarly, having lost her party's primary for nomination to run for reelection, Alaska's woman senator -- an office that was bestowed upon her as a gift from her RINO Republican father, who, as governor, appointed her to the office -- now is campaigning for reelection to the office as a write in candidate.
Neither of these sore losers is going to be elected to the Senate, but that's not their purpose. The sore heads simply want to undermine the election prospects of the conservative Republican candidates who defeated them in their efforts to win their party's nomination . . . and they prefer a Democrat victory to one by the candidate chosen by the voters of their own former party.
Conservative Republicans should remember these examples the next time they are asked to join forces and unite behind a liberal or moderate GOP candidate for any office.
