Anti-Trump Republican Christopher Sylvester is challenging Trent Franks. Sylvester is unhappy with Trump's pardon of Joe Arpaio. The pardon is causing a civil war in the AZ GOP. Three Democrats also entered the race.

Huh. I would guess that Franks will win easily?

Franks easily wins, but the primary challenge signals an imminent civil war in the AZ GOP.

This seat is 61-38 McCain, 62-37 Romney, 58-37 Trump. No Democrat has a chance, and Franks's longtime incumbency will allow him to crush any primary challenge.

If Democrats followed your advice, they wouldn't contest a single GOP seat and they might as well disband. It's time Democrats take risks again, and it's time that Democrats make midterms competitive again.

Exactly. It puzzles me that California Republicans always contest Grace Napolitano's district, but Texas Democrats rarely contest Kevin Brady's. Why not run candidates in those districts without investing a ton of money? Giving voters a choice boosts morale and turnout.

Remember Bill Sali lost in 2008 and one of the congressional districts in Nebraska was competitive in 2006.

Exacly, 2 races of of thousands, I'm not saying it is 100% safe R, more like 96% safe R. Make no mistake, their is always a tiny chance of winning, that's why I am a big supporter of leaving no Republican unopposed, now whether you got a decent chance or not, that is a very different story.
