It's better to think about the general election as the place to vote for your party. You get your chance to vote for individual candidates in the primaries. I know that isn't the case for incumbents, but that's where the decisions should be made.

If people thought about elections this way, we wouldn't be in this mess where Democrats are always outnumbered by Republicans in the election booth, even though they outnumber them when counting registered voters.
