Yes I think and hope that the anti-Trump wave finally reaches the red states. I am not worried about Casey in PA right now.

7. I had to look up your Heitkamp assertion because her race was one I was afraid we might lose. But...

... she is one of the most popular senators in the country in her state. https://ndxplains.com/2017/04/12/u-s-senator-heitkamp-earns-60-approval-north-dakotans-according-poll/

She probably wins easily.
