6. It isn't the wording. Its the likelyhood

In some of these places, the GOP is going to win no matter who it is. So I am not crazy about rooting for the worst primary candidate because it just means we get a worse person in the position.

I honestly don't know if the Democrats have a chance here. I am just wary of wishing ourselves into a worse position.

Therefore, the wording of "more likely" just makes me nervous.
