@Bencjacobs @aseitzwald @JamesPindell Probably not. But if it happened since FDR tried to purge Democratic senators in 1938, it was probably a split in a Southern Democratic Party in the 1950s or 1960s. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs @aseitzwald @JamesPindell About the closest thing that comes to mind is Texas in 1963 when liberal Senator Ralph Yarborough refused to ride in the same car with conservative Governor John Connally in the JFK motorcades during his visit to Dallas. https://t.co/D5A0y7RFpN — PolitiTweet.org

@daschloz @Bencjacobs @aseitzwald @JamesPindell A damn good guess. Actually, I think you need two ingredients for a senator to support a primary challenge to a same-state colleague: 1). Deep enmity; and 2). Stark ideological differences. — PolitiTweet.org
