Votes with Trump something like 50 percent of the time. It's not fun, but it's the reddest state in the country. I'd rather have him there than a Republican who votes with Trump 100 percent of the time.

He does what he has to do to hold his seat.

she’s been consistently on point but here she misrepresented the facts as those house representatives do not reresent their states but merely their deep blue districts within the state. We need to win 2020 presidency AND we need to win the senate AND we need to maintain the house. The most critial task is to have unity among dems and appeal to moderates/independents/apoliticals to vote democratic. Divisions within the party is a recipe for losing all three in 2020.
