Multiple challengers would all but guarantee she wins the primary.

And wish it weren’t so but the primary is it, the district is unwinnable for a Republican. Rostenkowski’s district in 1994 was not 3-1 democrat. In 1992 he won his final term with only 57%. This bitch just won 78%. We have a better chance of putting a man on Uranus than electing a Republican in that district.

So we use her, use her to beat Collin Peterson and Angie Craig and get the majority back. Hell, I don’t want her to lose the primary, she’s a gift if we can use her. Aren’t we fundraising off of her right now?

Why are you in same party as Illhan Omar Congressman Peterson? His opponent should be asking this 50 times day.

Fun fact about Rostenkowski’s district under the lines used from 1992-2000: Bush defeated Dukakis under such lines by 52%-48%. (See page 400 of tbe 1994 edition of Michael Barone’s Almanac of American Politics.)

Ilhan’s district is more unwinnable for a Republican than even the LA-02 CD in which Joe Cao beat William Jefferson in 2008, particularly since Ilhan’s GOP opponent won’t have the luxury of a hurricane emptyng out numerous black neighborhoods or a December run-off against an incumbent who recently had been indicted after they fiund tens of thousands of dollars of cash bribe money in his freezer. Only way to take her out is in the RAT primary, and it only could happen if she was facing a single, very prominent, liberal Democrat opponent.
