22. What makes you say that? Here's some information about that district:

Tue Feb 27, 2018, 01:26 PM

Feb 2018

"Politically, the 1st district is one of the most competitive congressional districts in the country, with a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+2. The district has changed hands in five of the last six elections and has given no candidate more than 54% of the vote since 2004."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hampshire%27s_1st_congressional_district

NO one has won the district "comfortably" in the last six elections. If he wins comfortably it would be because the voters perceived him as a republican.

It disgusts me that a political neophyte, running on name only, would challenge other Democrats for a seat that is currently occupied by a Democrat. This will only create more division in the district and may all but guarantee a republican victory.

What makes you say that? Here's some information about that district: George II Feb 2018 #22

I think he would attract independents and some Republicans. David__77 Feb 2018 #27

Based on some of his tweets in the OP, looks like he'd attract more republicans than Democrats. George II Feb 2018 #32
