quote [ The 2018 midterms are still 561 days away, but an unprecedented early surge of Democrats have already declared their candidacies for the House of Representatives, setting up what will likely be one of the longest and most crowded series of House Democratic primary campaigns in memory. ]
Time to put up or shut up. In my district it is the Governor's Chair that is at stake. In the house the Dems need to pick up 24 seats. The Senate looks out of reach.
It is time to redraw this Line.
Conditions have never been more opportune. The Democratic party approval is at an all time low which will hold down party loyalist in the primaries. A relatively small number of people will chose the nominee...odds will never be better.

And "Conditions have never been more opportune. The Democratic party approval is at an all time low which will hold down party loyalist in the primaries. A relatively small number of people will chose the nominee...odds will never be better." is absolutely counter to reality in that Democrats ALWAYS do better when many people come out to vote.
Republicans do well when there is minimal voter turnout. So, actually, I'm quite worried. That's a bad bad omen unless some of the new democrats can inspire some turnout. |

Good point. Getting fresh views nominated doesn't really help if they subsequently don't have the numbers to win the election.

Dem turnout has been pretty good in the special and local elections.

The only thing is that the GOP numbers are worse than the Dems. Very few from either party show up in the mid terms...especially in the Primaries. If you want to take over a party you need more than party votes. ORGANIZE!!

Republicans don't vote in Democratic primaries.
"Republicans do well when there is minimal voter turnout. " There in lies the problem...if any of this is more than lip service...they need to vote. |

Those poll numbers are terrifying, but I can't help but think of the Tom Perez/Bernie interview where everyone but Perez was cringing. Like literally cringing.
