MA-3: After Tsongas

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Lol, Safe D for this race. Try it in 2018 Republicans, I dare you.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Really hoping we can get a more liberal democrat in there. Nikki Tsongas was never my least favorite MA Dem but I don't find her to be a particularly good congresswoman.

I understand it's Massachusetts, but it's not a D+30 district...

So? It's not like a Republican can win there. What matters is how liberal the Democratic primary voters are.

I think MA-03 still has the potential to elect a Republican. It voted for Scott Brown when he lost statewide in 2012 to Warren; it voted about 52.25% for Charlie Baker in 2014. And Tsongas hardly won the 2007 special election by some landslide -- only about 6.22 points. Maybe a Republican like state Rep. Sheila Harrington could make it a serious contest.

Only in the scenario where they put up a full on Progressive instead of someone more Moderate, and the Republican would have to run an absolutely masterful campaign, even then it's tossup.

And you would need a 2010 tidal wave too. Not happening in 2018 here, good luck taking this seat, lol.

Good to see others don’t like a tio tomas, endorsed.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

A lot of crazy talk here.

Does not matter, this seat is not flipping in 2018 on the congressional level even in your wildest dreams.
