As I said below, I think we should at least have primary challengers to our pretty-much-guaranteed-twin congressional candidates. Having them compete with a republican every election, well then their strategy becomes simply "don't be the republican, and you'll be reelected".

Those same people will surely win their primary, but they'll have to win it by standing up for progressive values, not non-republican values
