I agree 100%.

However, if they do win their primaries, it's ABSOLUTELY PARAMOUNT that they win the seats back. It's ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE to allow a Republican to take any of those seats. If they win the primaries and are on the November ballot, any Dem. who doesn't vote at all, votes third party, or does anything else other than swallow hard and vote for them is complicit if a Republican wins.
