Do not count on voters to be smart enough to see how crazy these folks are. Given how gerrymandered districts are, if a t-bagger replaces Boner they will likely get elected. And we have seen just how destructive these idiots are when they get to office.

I don't know the answer, other than to work to get control of state legislatures in 2020 to de-gerrymander these districts.
