The only hope the Hag has is that since it is an OPEN primary (the Stupid Party never learns) Democrats will flood in to try to put her over the edge. If that happens, then republican voters MUST sit out the general. It is only one House seat, and Lizard must be kicked out, whatever the cost.
They are not stupid, they keep the primaries open so they can keep nominating Bush League Republicans.
Not simply sit out, but actually vote for her Democrat opponent.
