As I recall, Bevin's comments on the Iran negotiations were also pretty hawkish. So is Bevin a political opportunist? Quite possibly. But political opportunists are the ones who tell you that you are winning. We'll never get a majority if we expect to get only the absolutely sincere and dedicated people on board.
But then the question also arises. If you accept political opportunists, what's so bad about Mitch McConnell? I've never been very enthusiastic about the Bevin campaign. McConnell is in a powerful position and has a good working relationship with Rand Paul which has allowed Rand Paul to do his thing. And he has even come around to our side on a few issues.
I think our resources are better devoted to a campaigns that have a better prospect of winning and are also less suspect than Bevin's, and I don't relish the prospect of John Cornyn as Majority Leader.
Second the motion.
