No, you have ZERO clue. You’re trying to pitch Randy Forbes as a conservative stalwart? On what planet? His Heritage rating is 73. Below Hensarling, Chaffetz,and even Rubio. Although admittedly better than Rigell. Which is setting the bar about as low as you can get.
Unfortunately Forbes didn’t have enough intestinal fortitude to make a run in his own district. An uphill fight? Definitely. But with name recognition he had a chance of holding the seat if he had run in the 4th. He wouldn’t fight like a man in the 4th, so he lost like a dog in the 2nd. Good riddance. Scott Taylor will be better than either Rigell or Forbes.
get lost.
Forbes’s district was eliminated, so there was no “his own” district to run in. He had no chance of winning in a gerrymandered VRA district designed to elect a Black Democrat. A Republican would be lucky to get 35% in it.
