RE: Senate Republican recruits have a candidate quality problem.
Senate Republicans once again have a “candidate quality” problem with their recruits
Their candidates were already known for being carpetbaggers with “rich people problems” and “suspect ties to the states they’re running in.”
Now the damaging revelations emerging about the GOP’s Senate recruits have grown to include their lies about their biographies on the campaign trail, scandals stemming from their finances and a lifetime of unvetted statements and policy positions.
That’s prompted analysis from the Associated Press, Roll Call and others detailing how Senate Republicans are “elevating untested candidates who might not be prepared for the scrutiny,” that GOP recruits are “feeling the heat in the media,” and how “in Senate races, GOP haunted anew with ‘candidate quality’ issues.”
See for yourself:
In Montana:
In Ohio:
In Pennsylvania:
In Wisconsin:
In Arizona:
In Nevada:
In Michigan:
The bottom line: It’s only May, and it’s already clear Senate Republicans recruited inferior candidates they failed to vet. Their lies and liabilities pose major vulnerabilities and will form an important part of the case Democrats will utilize to disqualify GOP Senate candidates with voters in each race.
