Re: The race for 2020 starts now.

The GOP have already framed this as a culture war and use that to get the base out. Putting a woman up would be just confirming to them that they are right and provide them with an easy win in terms of having something to get their base worked up. It might not be right or fair or just, but dropping any women candidates for a couple of elections is the pragmatic thing to do in order to let the GOP wind down from the culture war rhetoric.

Do you really think that there are any circumstances under which the GOP would wind down their level of rhetoric?

If you really think it's an all-out culture war, then it's a culture war, and we're in it, and we might as well fight to win it.

Run another woman and their rhetoric gets traction it wouldn't otherwise have. Brown means that even if they run the rhetoric full pelt that it gets minimal traction, he isn't something people would turn out to vote against. Run a woman, especially a WoC, and you've got something that gets the GOPers out in droves to vote them down.
