In his past 3 re-elections to the House of Representatives, Republican Tom Emmer defeated his opponents by an average of 27 percentage points. This year his Democratic opponent sliced his margin of victory to 11.5 points. And that, as you'll see below, wasn't his only comedown.

Ana Radelat reports:
Rep. Tom Emmer campaigned for and raised a lot of political cash for Republican candidates, but those efforts may not be of much help as he tries to hold on to his GOP leadership job.
That’s because most of the Republican challengers, and some of the incumbents, Emmer tried to help lost their races and won’t be in Congress to back him.
Emmer is the House Majority Whip. But the House GOP is required to elect new leaders for the next Congress, where the party will be in the minority. And Emmer has attracted a challenge from Rep. August Pfluger of Texas.
As a member of the House GOP leadership, Emmer was proud of the money he raised for his GOP colleagues – in large part to cement his position as a Republican leader. [emphasis added]
Unfortunately, the cement ended up on Emmer's shoes.
