Barbara Buono tried against Chris Christie. While she was the better candidate, she didn't win. We now have Mikie Sherrill. Stellar work in Congress. I wish, but I don't expect.

Go to Kentucky. Amy McGrath tried to oust Mitch McConnell. Her credentials were impeccable. She didn't win.

Until you can get more than 50% of registered voters to vote, elections will be like Nielsen ratings.
