Wait Joe Walsh is considering a primary challenge? omg

Yeah I got excited for a second.  Unfortunately Illinois is one of the few states where a nutjob Tea Partier would have no chance whatsoever to win a primary against an incumbent Senator.

I'd imagine this makes Bustos less likely to run for Senate:

I don't get all the Bustos love, tbh.

1) Strong political network b/c of her father

2) Despite this, not seen as political insider

3) Not from Chicago

4) Moderate but not too moderate

5) Appeals to blue collar downstaters

4 is a positive point? I'm a tad confused why we need a moderate for deep blue Illinois, but a Vermont socialist is fine for nationwide.

My guess is Bustos is holding out until 2020, if Durbin retires (as I think he will).

Speaking of Durbin, the Senate Dems really seem to be throwing him under the bus lately. What did he do to earn their ire?

If you're referring to Reid picking Schumer over Durbin, 538 said it was because Schumer has a closer voting record to Reid's, and also because Schumer is better at fundraising and has a bigger social media presence.

Not just that, but multiple people are encouraging Murray to challenge Durbin for the #2 spot, which seems odd considering he was a loyal soldier for not running against Schumer.
