My suggestion: give the Republicans enough rope and hope they hang thenselves. It's worked in Nevada, Delaware, Indiana, and Missouri, so maybe it can work in Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, or Texas this year. You never know...
Kentucky and Texas won't work. Generic Teabagger would win in these states, and even then Texas's Democrats are all Some Dudes. I'd rather face McConnell than Bevin because of his ties to Washington.
Georgia and MAYBE Mississippi? God yeah. No idea why Taylor isn't running for Senate as a D or even an I.
