ID hasn’t successfully primaried an incumbent Republican Congressmember since 1974 (when Conservative ex-Congressman George Hansen narrowly beat liberal RINO Orval Hansen, whose son later ran in 2006 as a Democrat for the seat). RINO Rep. Mike Simpson in the 2nd needs to be primaried far worse than Labrador.

Not good odds.

Simpson is a complete RINO but connected enough to slide, at least up to now. I don't see him lasting very long but I've been wrong before.

Labrador is mostly all right with me but he won't listen on certain critical matters and it's burned him every time. Vaughn almost got him last time. It's fine for me to talk about being primaried but there needs to be another viable candidate to pull it off. Ugh.

Simpson is atrocious.

I’m also amazed how long Simpson’s one time fellow congressmember, “Butch” Otter, has been sticking around in the ID governorship. He’s been there since 2006 and seems to underperform what you’d expect a Republican would do in that state, particularly in 2006 and 2014.
