Both Obama - twice - and Hillary, carried the third congressional district. Yet, Paulsen easily wins. Thus, his Democratic opponents somehow did not run an effective campaign.

But there is hope. Until now, when his party was in the minority, he could appear as a "moderate." Now, voting with Paul Ryan and Trump, he will have harder time convincing moderates and, perhaps, Democrats.

I hope
