re: #35 Targetpractice

He’s not running again until 2020, assuming he chooses to just keep running until he dies in office. That means that, come his next reelection bid, he can just sell himself as a “check” on Trump’s powers while still keeping a Republican majority in Congress. Or some such “maverick” BS.

My point is that it’s getting harder for Republicans to win in places where they used to win in a walk. They don’t seem to have much of an incumbent’s advantage either unless they’ve been there forever. Rubio (and he may simply be not very well liked by anyone) only saw his percentage go from 49% to 53%. Same with Rand Paul, he only saw a 2% bump to 57%.

If your goal is to push Republicans out of power, you have to have some optimism and stuff like this is a good basis for optimism.
