They support the worst candidates you can find against the Democrats, so why do they do it?
The national party and some of the state level parties are out of touch with the electorate. Some of that was addressed in 2012 with liberty folks getting elected to leadership positions and taking over a couple state parties. A lot of them left their position (or got forced out) and now are working with Rand's campaign. What usually happens when there is a takeover, the old guard will make moves to dry up the treasury, then accuse the new folks of not being able to handle the money.
My SWAG is, losing elections removes the heat, burden and responsibility of having to try to lead and govern.
Nobody is really losing. The upper echelon of RNC stays in place. I think the one party system was explained long time ago during Ron's runs.
The elites don't care who the slave masters are, they just want the machine to keep rolling. If anyone dare run against them, they are automatically disqualified for being "too kooky".Originally Posted by dude58677
The Republican establishment has more in common with the Democrats than their own party base. They would rather lose to the Democrats to ensure a candidate wins the Presidency that more closely reflects their beliefs than nominate a real Conservative.
So one could say they win ideologically every 4 years regardless which party wins the Presidency.

* Also, I have effectively retired from all social media including posting here and are basically opting out of anything to do with national politics or this country on federal or state level and rather focusing locally. I may stop by from time to time to discuss philosophy on a general level related to Libertarian schools of thought and application in the real world.
Why does the RNC like losing elections on purpose?
.
Very true. For instance, just compare Jeb and Hillary, or Trump and Sanders.
Peas in a pod.
The other issue is they seem content on letting 3 or 4 states decide the general election. It would get interesting if more states started sending Electors by CDs like NH and NE. Also, take the party affiliations off the ballots.
The same people and corporations own both parties. Whoever the Puppetmasters want to win will win.They support the worst candidates you can find against the Democrats, so why do they do it?
I'm convinced it's for the same reason some fighters take a dive in a prize fight they could win. Because they get paid richly for it.
The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.

'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

No direct election.
i think its because they are too afraid of trying to get new voters vs. losing their base.
what they havent realized is, their base is dying on and the way out...by 2052, minorities will be the majority of voters in the US. right now, 10% of GOP voters are minorities.
They dont want to piss off the 90% in order to grow the 10%...but they are doing so in a short-sighted manner.
What they have failed to realize is the turning point of the minority vote being the election decider was 2012.
Pretty close to my view. Losing the Presidency takes the heat off of Congress, which is largely controlled by Republicans.
Sadly, a divided government is the least destructive one we're offered, so things could be worse...
It's not optimal for the elites to lose the grip on their two party charade, but growing the GOP with libertarians is even worse for them. So, for the time being, the puppet masters are content with recurring Democratic administrations. What happens next is anybody's guess.
The Republican party splits, and splits its vote for the next however many decades, allowing the socialist warmonger party free reign.

they know it, and they are content with having the house, and sometimes the senate. if they really wanted the presidency they would have pushed electoral reform, and selected the electoral college by congressional district in WI, OH, MI, FL, PA, and VA.
they want cheap labor, subsidized by the government, for their friends on Wall Street. the next president will propose national servitude, with the promise of free college, and it could pass. of course there will be no college slots for white males.
Exactly.

There is no spoon.
The RNC likes losing for the same reason Fox likes telling rank and file Republicans how to lose and encouraging them to do it. The RNC likes losing for the same reason that so many posters seem to enjoy coming here and encouraging us to encourage the Rand Paul campaign to shoot themselves in the foot--by firing the whole campaign staff, by flip flopping, by pissing off two thirds of the electorate. They're all paid to do so.
Do you dislike being paid?
this is a one party system, to think otherwise is just showing the fact that there are millions of idiots out there voting...
DFF just Neg-repped me for this remark.Ender: Exactly.
