ND-SEN: Cramer likely to run

[Klartext89]

Heitkamp is a Democrat - that should be enough to vote her out.

Funny what you're discussin here. A RINO claiming that Heitkamp is "conservative" (lmao, what are GOP Senators to the right of Collins, McCain and Graham then?) and that he would prefer her (and therefore Chuck Schumer) over a real Conservative Republican, some Democrats in delusion over their "chances" in rubby Red States and definitions for political labels. LOL.

But who really cares. The GOP will get that seat. Either in a Special election or in 2018. Along with seats in Missouri (no Todd Akin, I'm sorry Claire), Indiana (no Todd Akin twin, I'm sorry Joe), Montana (not even the Fake-Democrat in a libertarian suit will save you this time, Jon) - at least. ^^

Don't be so confident. Democrats were as recently as November 8th. You may get the same fate))))

^I see. You're making some good points, even though I think Hassan just took that 'tough on refugees' position because it was election year and she ran for Senate... I doubt she is even remotely 'anti-refugee' and her voting record should be very liberal.

Regarding Amanda Curtis, a lot depends on what kind of year 2020 turns out to be. Montana is a purple state and quite polarized in many regards, so Curtis getting 40% was not THAT surprising. She is quite popular among the progressive base (like Tester), so I could see her getting 44% or maybe 45% in a very good year for Democrats. Anything higher than that would be difficult and almost impossible - especially against a somewhat popular Republican incumbent (even though incumbency doesn't mean much these days). Montana is trending a bit Republican at the federal and statewide level, so it would be tough for her. I think even Bullock would lose to Daines by 2-4 points, tbh.

I do expect both the 2018 and the 2020 Senate race to be quite competitive. Right now I think Zinke will very narrowly beat Tester in two years and that Daines will narrowly beat Bullock, but we'll see.

Rep. Kevin Cramer told me when he talked to Trump, Trump asked him if he wanted to run against Heitkamp. Said he would make decision later

I will never cease to be amazed how many members of the "deep republican bench" lack sufficient self-discipline to not say such obviously condescending things.

Meh, he's the best candidate Republicans have. He has high name recognition, seems to be quite popular and is one of the Republicans who has held the most town hall events with constituents, which matters in a state like ND (where retail politics are important).

Making such gross statements is a feature, not a bug.

Seriously? Republicans might Akin away their chances in the easiest contest imaginable?!

Cramer at it again: http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/kevin-cramer-female-house-democrats-235655

If by some miracle the Dems win the Senate this year, the Republicans are cursed.
