The district is gerrymandered. They’ll just send another hypocrite with “conservative values” to Congress.

The voters don’t realize they’re being played. Oh well.

R+11 district. The only battle will be who can go furthest to the right during the primary.

I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet.

In state races, "Democrats have won 6 GOP-held seats in 2017. Republicans have won 0 Democratic seats."

Democrats have won 6 GOP-held seats in 2017. Republicans have won 0 Democratic seats. - CNNPolitics

One seat was in Oklahoma, of all places.

Maybe people are starting to wake up.

Major GOP donors are waking up and closing their wallets over lack of legislative progress on their key issues - tax cuts, ACA repeal, infrastructure, deregulation, ...

Bannon has "stepped into the role of donor-whisperer" meeting with donors "to fund an effort to unseat Senate Republican incumbents in 2018."

If that wasn't bad enough, Trump's own VP is in on the play. Pence's chief of staff Nick Ayers told "a group of RNC donors that if Congress failed to enact the president’s agenda they should withhold their financial support and instead give to primary challengers."

Angry GOP donors close their wallets - POLITICO

No word on the position of Russian donors.
