We have thrown some out. I don't know the reasons but I can speculate:

• Incumbents have far better name recognition.
• It's hard to get primary challengers against an incumbent.
• It's probably hard to get campaign funds against an incumbent.
• In some cases incumbents have committee positions, that people in the district think are worth hanging on to.
• It's probably hard to get the word out on how you are different and what the incumbent has done wrong.

  I think our voters are more seriously uninformed for congressional races than for Presidential races.

Everything you said is true but the good people of Virginia’s 7th district still voted for Dave Brat over Eric Cantor. It can be done, it’s just that people in McConnell and Boehner’s district are complicit in reelecting people who are toxic to the Republican party.

If Republican voters really hate their Republican leadership so much, why don’t they forbid their elected representatives from reelecting people like Boehner and McConnell into leadership positions. The voters should demand that their representatives pledge, in writing, not to support Boehner and McConnell. Post Youtube videos. Whatever it takes.
