    That is a very difficult choice to make.

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      I thought he was wearing a skull cap.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              Maybe he was a holdover blue dog dem, as Martinez might be for all I know. Running as a dem in a district where Trump won by 13 points last election will require some maneuvering.

              I remember Anne Colter giving a spirited defense of Mitt (the Sainted one) when he was getting pushback from repubs unhappy over some of this decisions as Governor of Massachusetts. She said something the effect of "Cut him some slack. He was running as a repub in Massachusetts for hell sake."

                I wish there was a special election for us to compare this too, but even the most recent one in Texas has been owned by the Dem party forever and there is no surprise it remained a Dem seat.

                  Sure, but these result confirm a trend where districts that voted for Trump are electing dems. I think it has significance.

                  As noted, dems running in Louisiana and Texas are going to be different than dems running in the Northeast.

                      On a nations election, yes, they went GOP. But that Texas seat (18th District) has been a Dem seat since 1973. Which is why I don’t think these are comparable.

                      BUT!! I still think the historical trend is the incumbent loses in the next election cycle. Which will happen again. What I think we will see, is a bloody November for the GOP. Unless Trump does some serious changes to immigration, economy, costs that we all still feel.
