Clinton won, gardner in a state clinton one, mcsally in a state that trump won but barely and tillis in a state that trump won but only by 3 1/2 points. all of them have to think long and hard about how this vote will resonate with general election voters. thats the leverage democrats think they have. when you see these four names mentioned and you see the general election mentioned with them, remember, there is something else thats on their minds as well. it is this. republican primaries. susan...
