1. Gil Cisneros & Katie Porter - California duo should've won their Orange county districts.
2. Mary Barzee Flores - Lost by 21%. I guess Diaz-Balart still has a strong name value in South Florida.
3. Randy Bryce - Paul Ryan's district. This was a lean Republican seat but considering how suburbs went yesterday in general, his 12% loss is too big (larger than Clinton's 10% loss).

Randy Bryce turned out to be a really subpar recruit. Seemed great when he was viral, but when all the criminal convictions came out and when everybody realized he didn't campaign well, it was done for.

Iron Deadbeat Jailbird didn't underperform. It was always a safe R race from the minute he got nominated.

Jeff Van Drew is the obvious one here. Republicans completely gave up and he was supposed to coast to victory against his white supremacist opponent by 20+ points. Everyone rated it likely/safe D.

Hiral Tipernini, Danny O'Connor, Amy McGrath, Archie Parnell, Leslie Cockburn, Jared Golden

@Dec 26th: They're probably gone, but given how long CA takes to count...

Abby Finkenauer. She was supposed to win by double digits and ended up winning by only 4.
Alyse Galvin was supposed to be closing in on Young, ended up losing by 9.
Collin Peterson won by another too-narrow margin. He may be beatable in 2020 after all.
Nancy Soderberg and Kristen Carlson weren't running in super favorable districts but most thought they'd make it closer. I actually had Carlson winning as a sleeper pick.

Peterson's district is gone in 2020. I don't care if he runs for re-election or not. It's gone.
