Understatement of the Month: GOP ‘made some pretty poor choices’ for Senate candidates
Graham, who has been a perennial target of the the Tea Party and Toomey types points out once more that the Tea party picks in particular lost the GOP control of the Senate this round. This should be nominated for “understatement of the month” even though it is still early.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that Republicans “made some pretty poor choices” in choosing their Senate candidates this fall.
Graham, in a Senate floor speech on Saturday, made an aside comment underscoring the frustration the GOP faced after some Tea Party-aligned nominees fell short in their campaigns.
“The House had a dramatic election. We picked up seats in the Senate,” Graham said, video of which is posted by C-SPAN. “Some of us thought, maybe we could pick up two or three more, but we made some pretty poor choices when it came to candidates.”
