Price had the tremendous advantage of being a long-time incumbent. It’s a totally different ballgame when the incumbent isn’t running, and if the demographics have been changing then surprises can happen.
Right on the mark about surprises. Exposes the fact that the Trump machine didn’t measure the unintended consequences of selecting Price for the Cabinet. Had they done so, it might have been better to keep Price in the Congress to drive the Obamacare repeal. As it is, Price does not appear to have returned any value as a Cabinet member with primary responsibility for this key issue. They’ve been Ryan-rolled so far, IMO. Watching for further developments, ready to be pleasantly surprised...
