Looking at this race, I have to wonder if Evelyn Sanguinetti stayed in the race and her campaign given a chance to takeoff if she could’ve made this race even closer or possibly even pulled the upset. I’m still shocked that Ives got within seven points of winning. She was a terrible fit for this district.

The district was drawn as a Republican vote sink and has some VERY evangelical voters (Wheaton Bible College and such).

But I wouldn't count out a moderate Republican winning in a non-Trump year.
