Is Heitkamp Really DOA In The Election This Time? 2018 GE Edition

[Brittain33]

There’s no waving away that last poll showing her down 16 points.

Well, didn't she have to apologized to some Women after Kavanaugh? I think that was the Final Nail in the coffin for her. What do you think?

I think the partisan lean and popularity of Trump is too great for her to overcome. Her Kavanaugh vote couldn’t help her either way, it was a lose/lose so she was right to vote her conscience and integrity.

Or she wanted to remain in the good graces of her democratic colleagues so she can score a lobbying or CNN gig after she leaves office

*shrug* While most politicians are cynical, Heitkamp has a reputation for integrity. Democrats don't have quite the ability or the business leverage to enforce purity on our senators the way Republicans do, mainly because Democratic elected officials stand to make less than Republicans when they leave office.
