Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

...at the top of their ticket, there's a good chance republicans will lose everything. So long as we unify and GOTV.

Jamie Herrera-Butler's days are numbered. She finally has a Democratic challenger who will take her empty head out of Washington, and be a progressive for the people of Southwest Washington state. He's a competent state senator will properly serve the constituents once again, and not the Koch brothers and the obstructionist party. I'll be working my butt off to get him elected.

I'm just bummed she'll be getting a pension for life for doing NADA for the past six years.
