North Dakota is considered flyover country often neglected by those on the coasts. One would stereotype North Dakota for being Conservative, but Conservatism is almost dead in North Dakota. All of their Congressmen are reckless spenders who are poor defenders of liberties. This primary will not change that. Kevin Cramer stole the show before it even began. He’s vacated the at large seat in favor of the Senate seat. He is sure to win, and no one dared challenge him for one of the easiest to flip Senate seats. It’s almost like there’s a lack of political ambition from everyone other than Cramer. But with that lack of ambition comes the acceptance of mediocrity.
Best Pick: Thomas O’Neill
Worst Pick: Kevin Cramer
Honorable Mention: Paul Schaffner
Best Race: None
Worst Race: all of them
US Senate
North Dakota is perhaps the Senate seat that could flip with the most ease. Rep. Kevin Cramer is seeking the promotion. Since 2013 he has held a Liberty Score of 37. The unimpressive, if not outright RINO mark comes from his reckless spending. He is sure to contribute to the Senate’s lack of Conservatives. The most we can expect from Kevin Cramer is orthodox Republican voting, nothing more. His opponent is Thomas O’Neill is a minister after retiring from the Air Force. His campaign is limited to fighting corruption, specifically mentioning Congressmen using taxpayer funds to cover up their own misconduct. He also has a strong focus on maintaining defense. Lastly a big focus is on scaling back out of control government agencies. O’Neill stands almost no chance of winning, especially after his sad showing at the ND GOP convention.
Kevin Cramer is a formidable candidate winning the at-large House seat multiple times. This race is basically the same thing with less accountability.
Conservative Pick: Thomas O’Neill
North Dakota At Large
With Cramer vacating the seat, four Republicans vie for the opportunity to fill the seat. Tom Cambell likely would have been the pick until he withdrew.

Tom Cambell endorses Kelly Armstrong in order to untie Conservatives. There may yet be some strong conservatism in this state after all. Kelly Armstrong is a state senator, but isn’t a strong Conservative, nor are many others. Then there’s Tiffany Abentroth. She’s running a campaign focused on agriculture, education and veteran issues. When candidates run on agriculture, they usually tout maintaining government regulations as the case in Nebraska. She isn’t as specific but there’s reason to be cautious. Lastly there’s Paul Schaffner. This clown was found guilty of soliciting a prostitute. This race sucks ass. Tiffany Abentroth is a veteran, so for that reason, she’s the pick.
Conservative Pick: Tiffany Abentroth
