2018: Any Other Democrat/abstain if a Republican actually makes it

Would you even vote for a major Planned Parenthood supporter like Nick Hexum or Liz Phair if one of them pulls a Kid Rock? Hexum and Phair would be extremely poor candidates for communitarian Democratic voters.

I might abstain in that case too, unless they do have a chance of knocking out DiFi, can't pass that up.

...Alright I'll do Virginia too

They don't have a chance to defeat Feinstein. In a D vs. D November runoff, Hexum/Phair might win some Central and Northern counties like Santa Cruz and Humboldt, but would be routed by Feinstein in every Southern California county.
