34 year incumbent Oregon dem in trouble

Oregon’s 4th District congressional race has turned into a competitive and high-spending affair, as a Republican anti-terrorism hero takes on a 34-year Democratic incumbent.
Alek Skarlatos, 28, a former Oregon National Guardsman, and political novice, was one of three Americans who famously thwarted a terrorist attack on a Paris-bound train back in 2015. He now appears to be giving Peter DeFazio, D-Springfield, a run for his money.
“There’s a sleeper race bucking the trend in southwestern Oregon, where a bona fide anti-terrorism hero is running against 34-year Democratic incumbent and Transportation and Infrastructure Chair Rep. Peter DeFazio (OR-04),” The Cook Political Report stated earlier this month. “A month out, both parties now regard the race as competitive and are spending accordingly
Fazio responds by guess what, blaming Trump, running against Trump....

Meanwhile, DeFazio struck back with ads from an Iraq veteran that claimed Skarlatos was "blindly following Trump," the Cook article added.

I can’t put any faith in Oregon to do the right thing

Based on what I hear from Oregon, I put my faith in them to do the opposite of the right thing...

believe it or not- there are actually a lot of sane, hard working Americans in Oregon. obviously overwhelming democrat- but moderates.
they see all the bullshite as well and more than a few want change.
will it be enough? I doubt it. but stranger things have happened

It makes sense but won't happen

Just looking at past results, and it’ll be a climb for Skarlatos. That district contains Corvallis and Eugene, so it’s going to be campaigning patriotism to hippies.

Kinda like the state Washington which is pretty much split down the middle; west half is lib and east half is right leaning.

And that white shaved head dude in the middle of the three with hand over heart, that is one dangerous mofo who knows how to fight. Don’t frick with him. There’s a video of him taking on 3-4 guys with knives alone in the street outside a bar. He’s calm and ready to throw down. Took a blade to the ribs but never let it show til after the fight. It was straight up Dalton walking out of the Double Deuce after being stabbed shite.

Wasn't he the one that led the charge against the Muzzie with the AK? Told his buddies he'd take the bullets so they could get to the guy and disarm him?
Brass balls on that dude, I'm finding him when the Civil War starts.

I’ve seen this referenced a few times over the past week. Can you link the video? Where and when did this happen?

Pretty incredible story... Clint Eastwood made the incident into a movie.. 15:17 to Paris.
And btw Alek and his two friends who fought against the terrorist actually played themselves in the movie.
