Our donations to the Jamie Harrisons of the world and others didn’t get them across the finish line.

Not saying it’s not worth a try, and godnoze I’ll give, as I did before, but it’s an interesting data point.

They have a ton of power and sway and name recognition and comfort level with voters.

Only those seats that are vacated by retirement or death are really ever truly in play.

Running against incumbents, no matter how inept, awful, corrupt, stupid, or inbred, still have a 90% chance of winning.
