To All: Should Dan Lipinski be Primaried?

[BuckeyeNut]

The great people of IL-3 love Dan Lipinski, and he loves them back.  He's one of the best politicans in any party.  Independent, pro-life, handsome, flawless, etc.

White union Democrats are also the largest group in the democrat primary.  They are his people.

...

Hate to agree with Santander, but Lipinski has the quintessential horse face.

Some people on this forum are hilariously deluded. Obviously Lipinski has a particular appeal in his district given the demographics of his constituents, but this is a district Clinton won by 15% (by an even larger margin than Obama in 2012, too!); literally any Democrat nominated would have no trouble holding this district in a general election.

Uh, no. I agree Lipinski should be primaried, but Bernie would have done worse than Obama 2012 here. To Tim Turner's point, Lipinski has been primaried many times. He got 87% of the vote in the 2012 primary, 73% in 2008, and 55% in 2006.

The real reason Lipinski should get primaried is that he represents the absolute worst of political dynasticism.

who ever said dynasticism was ever inheritly bad?

No one, but the circumstance by which Lipinski got into office is utter horse hockey.

If that's the case, both you and I should be immediately banned as we are in no place to discuss or judge Americans for the choices they make.

My new favorite.
