Another 'flip flop' in Congress? 2018 midterms give Democrats hope  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 2/8/2018)
Trump won by 7 points here, but Faso did better than that.  But former President Obama won here twice, and a field of qualified candidates has emerged -- among them lawyer Antonio Delgado, businessman Brian Flynn, and Iraq War Veteran Patrick Flynn, who  between them have raised or contributed more than $3.6 million for their campaigns.

Trump received 50.8% of the vote in 2016 compared to 45.9% for Romney in 2012 and 45% for McCain in 2008.

Clinton received 44.0% of the vote in 2016 compared to 52.1% for Obama in 2012 and 53% for Obama in 2008.
