It is NOT a win because Forbes is not a RINO in any sense of the word. He is much more conservative than Trump and his ratings are stellar, plus he truly is honorable. The House will be less conservative when he goes.
The House will be less conservative because Forbes didn’t run in his own district. He might have won in the 4th. But in true gop-e form, he decided to run to another district rather than fight. And he lost.
The folks in the 2nd resented having a carpetbagger and Forbes got blown out of the water despite outspending Scott Taylor by roughly 10 to 1.
