He’s a loon. 
 

AOC has better political instincts than him, and that’s saying a lot.

He didn’t get a single endorsement from local leaders in his district.

Seeing stories out of his district from local leaders that he never bothered to darken their doors while the well liked and well known moderate that beat him did tells me all I need to know. He was in congress to shamelessly self promote.

People will make hay of the AIPAC thing but it’s not the reason he lost.

He was trying to be a national activist politician  while completely ignoring the district he was supposed to be representing.
