5/5/14, "The Republican Establishment Would Rather Lose Nebraska Than Support Conservatives," Erick Erickson, Redstate

"The Republican Establishment always says conservative purists would rather lose than compromise. But the opposite is playing out in Nebraska.

The moment Ben Sasse got endorsed by the Senate Conservatives Fund, Mitch McConnell went all in for Shane Osborn. Well, Osborn is now toast. He has extremely high negatives, extreme negative poll numbers, and outside groups have just finished him off with an ad blasting his involvement in a made up military memo.

That leaves Sid Dinsdale who’d have you know he is a lifelong Republican despite years of significant giving to Democrats. Dinsdale too, however, is behind in the polls. Though he has poured a ton of personal money into the race, time is very short for him.

So it looks like a Mitch McConnell affiliated group has decided to soften Ben Sasse up for the Nebraska Democrats. In fact, they made the decision right about the time Ted Cruz and Mike Lee endorsed Sasse. They’d rather lose Nebraska than have a Ted Cruz ally in the Senate. They’re engaged in a purity test of their own.

What’s more awkward? The guy who is placing the hit on Ben Sasse is Rep. Tom Cotton’s campaign manager for his Senate race.

The ad buy of just over $100,000.00 has been made by Freedom Pioneers Action Network. That group was created by the guy who ran McConnell’s Super PAC in Kentucky and by McConnell’s then campaign manager, Justin Brasell.

Justin Brasell, a long time McConnell associate, is now running Rep. Tom Cotton’s campaign for the Senate in Arkansas. Brasell’s name is on the Federal Election Commission disclosure of the anti-Sasse ad buy.

There’s no way for Osborn to win now. It’s nearly impossible for Dinsdale to do so, but if he does, the GOP will have nominated a man who has funded Democrats against them. It is entirely plausible and probable that the establishment so hates Sasse getting conservative support, they’d rather lose Nebraska than win with a guy supported by conservatives across the nation.

Instead of purity of principles, it’s all about the purity of profit for them."

Once you are willing to accept that McConnell is actually a Democrat, everything he does makes perfect sense."

==================

Added: To be specific, the Republican Party doesn't exist at all. It happily killed itself off, was effectively dead after Nov. 2008. The only reason you've heard from any of them since is to beat down the Tea Party. The Republican Establishment, in particular George Bush I and II, destroyed this country. The other one, Jeb, is even worse. Plus I believe he has serious emotional problems, should lead a very quiet life somewhere where he can't hurt people.

Sabotage Republicans on the job in Florida:. 

In March 2014 David Jolly beat the Democrat, the Libertarian and the Sabotage Republicans. The GOP establishment didn't want David Jolly, they tried to get 3 others to run. Boehner didn't want him, Jeb Bush didn't want him, Florida sicko power broker Jack Latvala supported an establishment candidate against Jolly in the primary which he won easily but resulted in him being practically broke going into the gen. election. Boehner's office feeds its hate speech to outlets like Politico:

3/7/14, "National GOP turns on Florida candidate," Politico, Alex Eisenstadt
.

"Jolly, a longtime aide to Young who left Capitol Hill in 2007 to start a lobbying career, wasn’t the Republican establishment’s first choice. In fact, GOP officials sought out three other prospects, eager to find a candidate with a higher and more appealing profile than they believed Jolly possessed.
  After longtime GOP Rep. Bill Young died in October, House Speaker John Boehner called Rick Baker, a popular former mayor of St. Petersburg, and pressed him to run for the vacant seat. The Baker courtship didn’t stop there: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush also pushed the former mayor to run, according to two sources. (Bush has since gotten behind Jolly, appearing in TV ads calling him “the best candidate to go to Congress.”)"...
