Most candidates invoked Tiffany’s name as they made clear that they were the ones best equipped to face this existential threat…Trust me, he isn't that interesting - it is plain to see that Tom Tiffany isn’t some terrifying giant coming down from the mountains to thwart a Democratic hopeful, he is just a guy. Furthermore he doesn't have the best support network backing him up.

It is very early in the year and there are dozens of candidates between the 8 races, so for now we’re just giving first-glimpse looks. We hope to get more in-depth later. 

We’re betting that Francesca Hong will not only re-invigorate disillusioned Democrats and left activists to whoop her milquetoast rivals in the primary, but will also tap into anti-elite sentiment across the political spectrum to clobber Tiffany in the general. It looks like she’s got a good start on both.
