Does Tim Ryan (D-OH) deserve a Democratic primary challenge for his support for corporate tax cuts?

13. Sometimes you can't think of D vs. R as black and white contrasted.

Could a democrat with a platform more inline with the national party's stances beat Tim Ryan in a primary? Maybe.
Could that same democrat beat the republican in the actual election? Not in Ohio.

He's in an area representing constituents that voted for him, HIS platform, and what he said he would (and wouldn't) do. They did not necessarily vote for him because of the national "democratic mainstream" platform. And if he gets into office based on certain voter expectations and delivers a different product than they wanted then he won't last long.

IMO, a senators or representatives PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY should be voting for what the local constituents expected of them based on their campaign platform and promises. This includes being a voice for their constituents that my not agree with their OWN personal beliefs (ie: personal immigration or reproductive rights beliefs versus what their represented people actually want).

Secondarily, a senator or representative should be concerned with caucusing with their affiliated party and ensuring their affiliated party controls the majority of the chamber.

I think a lot of liberal democrats (no offense intended) that have never lived in or spent significant time in flyover states or swing states don't realize this.
