How/why do yo think Dave Brat lost? It was redistricting that got him.
I know, plus he ran a poor campaign. It was a close loss. No reason Virginia should have to do this.
Redistricting didn’t help, but Brat was invisible during his reelection. I know - I live in his district and he was never here. Not even at his local office. I like the guy, but campaigning is not his forte. He didn’t even campaign when he beat Cantor, who was such an awful House Rep that all a candidate needed to do was oppose him.
