Solid red and getting redder. Kinzinger is ripe for a primary challenge. The problem, as usual, is job security. It’s hard to get anyone but lifelong government employees like Kinzinger or the independently wealthy to run for high Federal office. For most, it derails you from your career track and requires a move to an expensive locale (DC) far from your hometown.
