In raw Trump score, Feinstein is way down the list behind the usual suspects like Manchin, Heitkamp, our wonderful special boy Dougie Jones, and even some potential surprises like Sherrod Brown and Tim Kaine.
That's exactly the point.
There's no reason for a senator from "the second bluest state in the country" to be voting for Mike ****ing Pompeo.
Feinstein's value above replacement California senator is below zero, while Manchin's value above replacement West Virginia senator is above zero.
