Name one Republican longshot in the primaries who has ever won the nomination. Even one?
***This is a unique race with no heir apparent. History isn’t much of a guide on this, and to be frank, I don’t care that much about republicanism history. It certainly does not compel me to forego my principles. I think Abe Lincoln might serve as an example of a longshot.
DH has, so far, only contested House elections in an overwhelmingly friendly district.
***Wrong. DH’s district is mostly democrats.
You're comparing apples to oranges. I said Hunter had an overwhelmingly friendly district - one in which it is exceedingly easy for him to win and win and win again in. I said nothing about the partisan breakdown of the district whatsoever. Hunter's seat is safe, and he's never risked it by trying to move higher, until now, since he's going to be retiring anywise, and having his son ride into office off of hisfather's popularity.
