The GOP poured millions into this little race, and brought all of their "big guns" to this party in hopes of winning. The GOP can't spend this amount on every race they need to win in 2020. They can't. This was their full court press to win an already red district. So they won. They were supposed to, and they used every resource they had to do it. If the GOP and Trump are proud of this showing they're going to be shitting their pants come 2020.

Just my two cents.
