I would assume that his base support in the district is around 56%. He wins the generals by larger numbers. This idea that an incumbent has to win a primary challenge by 20 points or he is in trouble is nonsense.

In unrelate news, Italy knocked German out of the World Cup finals. Responding to his team's loss, the German coach responded, "You can see by the final score just how badly Italy won."

I didn't say that. What I was trying to say was that any incumbent who is otherwise popular with the base should win any Primary by closer to 50 points, or he is in trouble.
