We really don't need any more Junior Republicans taking up space, especially in strong blue districts.

THIS is exactly why the party needs to be much more clear about the brand that Democrats are trying to establish. I'm afraid the answer is that the party at large has no concept of branding. The more right-wingers that you allow in the party, the harder it is for the rest to get elected.

Granted, he is a right-winger who hates Trump. But that's not good enough.
