As the G.O.P. Base Clamors for Confrontation, Candidates Oblige


A breach within the Republican Party widens, with some congressional leaders becoming the brunt of ideological and even personal attacks.
If Sen. McConnell thinks the 2014 election was about passing a six year highway bill and renewing the Export-Import Bank, then he really missed the message of the election which was about rejecting Democrat policies and specifically President Obama's policy.  The old guard may think they really stuck it Ted Cruz and other conservatives, but what they really did was stick to their base who put them in office to oppose such deal making.
