Which DEM incumbent in 2018 deserved to lose?

[iceman]

as stated in the question.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

where is the "none of them" option?

[SnowLabrador]

Bill Nelson ran a very lazy campaign. The other three were just in very red states; Nelson's the only one who realistically could have won if they'd played their cards better.

[brucejoel99]

None of them.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

Nelson slept at the wheel.

[Mr. Smith]

All of them.

Nelson was lazy, McCaskill and Donnelly sold out their base like cowards, and Heitkamp got into some issues around the Kavanaugh hearings.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

All of them.

Nelson was lazy, McCaskill and Donnelly sold out their base like cowards, and Heitkamp got into some issues around the Kavanaugh hearings.

Heitkamp sacrificed her entire political career to do what was right regarding Kavanaugh.

More accurately, she did what was right because she knew she had nothing to lose by that point.

None of them.

But her campaign didn't have to throw all those women under the bus to do so.

Donnelly is probably my least favorite.

Nelson deserved to lose in that he didn't earn a win with his campaigning, but he both is closest to me ideologically and more voters intended for him to win than Scott and like Al Gore he was screwed by ballot design. Plus I hate Rick Scott. So if I had to save any I'd probably save Nelson.

I would save McCaskill, because Josh Hawley's probably going to run for President in the future.

Well Rick Scott is also running in 2024.

Scott's not going to come close to winning the nomination. It'll be Trump Jr. or Ivanka, most likely.

Bill Nelson, because he was by far the most snobbish and the most liberal

lol wut? I've literally met the dude, & that's just about the wrongest characterization one could make of him.

Yeah, same (in 7th grade but I still dimly remember he was really nice)

Well, aren't you just a ray of sunshine?

[Lechasseur]

Not sure who deserved to lose the most.

But at anyrate the one I was happiest to see lose was Claire McCaskill. I couldn't stand her.

Heitkamp sacrificed her entire political career to do what was right regarding Kavanaugh.

More accurately, she did what was right because she knew she had nothing to lose by that point.

Actually, she was considered the slight, but clear favorite to win reelection before that vote, few people had her worse than tilt D.  It may be that an upset was gonna happen anyway, but - despite what some on Atlas like to pretend - hindsight is 20-20.

Heitkamp would've lost either way, how many people actually know their senators, not to mention how they voted on Kavanaugh. ND is just too red of a state for Dems to keep winning in, and Heitkamp wasn't tied in with state politics like Manchin. I feel like we're giving voters too much credit by assuming they know how Heitkamp voted on Kavanaugh, and the vote deffinately didn't sway ND senate in 2018

Hindsight is 20-20.  No one realized that was the case at the time.

Donnelly, IN has become a red state
