Poor over-worked snowflake guy....

8 years is a long time to work??? Try 50 you dumbass. Plus, he has two sons getting married and that's any reason to leave? Why? Do his sons need him to be the wedding planner? Do they really think we are dumb enough to buy that horseshit?

He's leaving for the same reason all the other GOPee'ers are leaving. They see the handwriting on the wall.

I concur, such a canned reason for leaving, almost a joke that they can think they can get away with it, but the base buys that crap sandwich all the time...

family values.

that doesn't seem like an insurmountable number - he won by 15% in 2016, but 20% in 2014

While it's an R district, 15 points is in play with Trump in the WH

We can do this!

Or at least make 'em spend a ton of money on the seat.

It's harder to pick up a new seat rather than defending your seat as an incumbent. Blue Wave Baby!!!!

old enough to vote by then. The Parkland massacre will still be fresh.

far away from Brooklyn

Sabato just shifted this to LIKELY R. That's an improvement, but it's still a stretch, even in a wave election.

and the data was very wrong

..and that nobody has infinite resources of time and money? I focus on the races that MY data scan (which is based on more than Cook and Sabato ratings) says are achievable. That list is growing, but with 6 races already leaning to the Dems, 20 tossups and 20 Lean R seats in play, I can't focus a lot of attention on the outliers until I see some momentum.

Liberals should be more idealistic and bold in our ambitions. Conservatives always talk about finite resources as a way to cut funding for stuff they don't like.

time with family my big fat ass.

Pro-gun, tax cutter, anti-immigration, anti-abortion, anti-environment, pro-abstinence education, etc. Good riddance.

It reminds me of 2010. Blue Wave Baby!

And just how fiery a woman are you? he asked with an evil grin.

You gotta run away from being in the minority.
Cowardice is the new virtue of the GOP. Maybe Bill Bennett can write a book called the Children’s Book of GOP Values. I don’t mind these clowns “retiring” but it does reveal that public service is all about personal gain to them.

Time? Toll, maybe; but time?

And "...cited the grind of travel to and from Washington." Uh, Mr. Ross, there are quite a few Senators and reps from Hawaii who have a better claim to that than you, whjo served far more than eight years.

You're leaving because your district is turning blue. With Puerto Ricans.

and possible collusion between the RNC and Russia.

The rats are abandoning ship.

You must be from the Detroit area and of a certain age.

It's a 3 hour plane flight between D.C. and Florida. What "grind"? One can spend that much time stuck in traffic on the beltway. It's not like he has to travel to a west coast state.

Winning baby!!!!!!! Tired of winning yet?

LOL WHAT A FUCKING SNOWFLAKE
