You are assuming a lot of things there. And you know what happens when you assume ....
But I don’t think that Bridenstine will run, in which case we won’t get the chance to see whether you’re correct about who would win the election.
As for primary run-offs, I agree with you that they’re terrific (and not just because they allowed Cruz to beat Dewhurst and DeMint to defeat Beasley), and wish that every state had them. Having someone win the primary with 30% makes absolutely no sense.
I really want Bridenstine to run, but I wonder if he wants to risk losing his House seat. Lankford is UNACCEPTABLE in any case. The upside is, once he is defeated, we can replace his House seat.
Shannon? I’ve heard good things. If Bridenstine declines, he’s a million times better than Lankford.
(BTW, if we had 50 black senators, we’d still be racist)
