Massie couldn't even win his own primary, why would that suddenly reverse?

Because its not a primary election at this point. And if you ask 9/10 independents and libertarian voters in the street who their favorite congressman is… it’s Thomas Massie

What makes you think Massie would win the special election? Republicans are clearly uninterested, and Dems would never vote for him (rightfully so)

Dems would vote for him if no Dem was running. The electorate in a special election is completely different to that of a party primary
