Please tell us how his remarks even make any sense:
What does the "base" have to do with this?
Or do you think he meant campaign workers (National Republican Senatorial Committee) and that before they released a statement about 'standing up for xyz' they should have researched the person to make sure they had legs?
Really?

The NRSC is headed by sitting Republican Senators.
Now, given that the Republican base is actively working against the Republican establishment this year...which would ostensibly include Republican Senators like the ones in charge of the NRSC...then I guess you're right...for the wrong reason.
If the NRSC was headed by Republican campaign workers (as you said), rather than sitting Senators, I think it would be arguable that the NRSC was "the base", rather than the Establishment.
Indus should have said "GOP Establishment" instead of "base".
So, congrats on the victory. And, thanks for presenting the opportunity for me and you to learn who the NRSC is and who runs it!
Although, I guess we could thank Indus for creating the thread, giving everyone the opportunity to learn something about the NRSC, in addition to the hilariously inept tweet they sent out.
Thanks Indus.
My original post in this thread still stands, oddly enough.
