Totally get all of that, but U cant help but look at McConnell's seat and remember how Schumer and co rejected the exciting young candidate and instead forced a PRO-TRUMP "democrat" to challenge him.

It's simple: if you think you can challenge a red conservative with a blue conservative, the red conservative will win every time. Blue conservatives are just carpetbaggers to the voters.

The challenger to conservatism is progressivism. If you don't actually provide a choice you WILL lose.
