Interesting point from Paul Ryan
"This is something that you're not going to see repeated, because they [Democrats] didn't have a primary. They were able to pick a candidate who could run as a conservative, who ran against the minority leader, who ran on a conservative agenda. You will have primaries in all these other races, and the primaries bring them to the left. So I just don't think this is something they're going to be able to see a repeat of."
I'd put more stock into this if Doug Jones hadn't won a primary and beat Roy Moore. And Jones was a straight up liberal in Alabama. I think Ryan is being awfully optimistic here.
