....two Republicans who lost in 2016 were the New Hampshire and Nevada ones....iirc, they were the only R Senate candidates who bashed Trump as the nominee.

The Buckley rule will apply to Moore. He can win. Still his time has come and gone.

New Hampshire was very close; both President Trump and Sen Ayotte barely lost, possibly due to college voters.

Nevada was closer than 2012 yet not enough to overcome the influx of Hispanic votes, legal and illegal.

I do not think the reluctance of Senate candidates to embrace Donald Trump mattered in 2016. A rising tide lifted all boats; in some states Trump ran ahead of Senate candidates and in others behind. It's a shame the NC governor lost his race. It really would have helpful had Trump, Ayotte, and Heck had won NH and NV though.
