Speaking of races where GOP candidate quality was NOT the problem…

“Too many on the left pronounce that our democratic institutions are broken whenever they don’t get the political results they want. Let’s hope that’s not how Republicans respond to Tuesday’s electoral drubbing. We’re blessed to live in a land where a sturdy Constitution protects our liberties as we freely express our choices by voting. Now it’s the job of all politicians to listen to Tuesday’s message.” @FreemanWSJ
