ND-SEN: But you are, Blanche, you are

[BuckeyeNut]

If Heitkamp pulls off a 2012-style McCaskill victory, I will flip out.

Yeah, I agree with the people in this thread. How anyone can think that this is an easier pickup for the GOP than IN or MO is beyond me. Even in a good year for Republicans and if Trump's approvals are in the high 60s in ND, I think that this is one of the races that will probably stay Democratic, kinda like VA in 2014. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a state like FL or WI went Republican before ND.

If Heitkamp wins in 2018, I have little doubt that she will become a lifer. Thank you, Rick Berg. This is why open seats in supposedly "red" states should never, never, never be taken for granted by the Republican Party.

Yup. She will win, but by a squeaker (just a redux of what happened in 2012).

And then hopefully she gets entrenched.

More evidence Republicans are scared of Heidi.

That story is hilarious.

NDGOP Recruiting SBHE President Kathy Neset for Possible Senate Run

Sigh.

I know we've disagreed, but this seems like the next GOP recruitment failure.

Guys, seriously. Heitkamp is a master of retail politics and has been raising money for this seat for years. It won't be a cakewalk because it's still North Dakota, but she should still be okay.
