You have to wonder how would Kay Hagan be doing right now if she's running again Burr.
RIP
As much as I love her, I always said Democrats should run a fresh face this time. Her numbers were just too damaged from the 2014 campaign.
Hagan rematch 2020?
Wouldn't be surprised if Hagan tries again in 2020. I think Tillis will be quite vulnerable and Hagan could probably defeat him. And that'll be 6 years after her defeat, so any negative feelings about her may be forgotten. I think that's why Hagan didn't run this year, she's waiting for 2020. I think nominating Ross was a good choice, a fresh face against a relatively bland senator. Ross was never considered a star recruit, but I think that ended up being a positive thing for Democrats
