The GOP's chances of keeping a crucial U.S. Senate seat in Republican hands next year could be slim to none if the party continues its pattern of nominating extremist candidates. That's according to one former Republican staffer, who told MSNBC host Chris Jansing that his party may very well lose North Carolina's U.S. Senate election in the 2026 midterms if it doesn't focus on candidate quality. Brendan Buck - who was a staffer to former House Speakers John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) - said that the retirement of Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) could tip the scales in Democrats' favor depending on who wins next year's Republican primary.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
