As much as I can't stand my Congressman - he's someone who when push comes to shove goes against his party when his party members in square states are doing things that will harm his district. He can work with him.

Ernst? Cruz? No way. If the are homophobes, bigots, anti privacy for women - we need to talk around them and behind their backs.

However if he succeeds - it will be because his oppononent is running as a despotic totalitarian doing unconstitutional things. He is going to look quite reasonable and accomplished even if the opposition selects a governor/former governor as their nominee.
