As Democrats brace for a November wave that threatens their control of the House, party leaders are preparing a brutal triage of their own members in hopes of saving enough seats to keep a slim grip on the majority.
In the next two weeks, Democratic leaders will review new polls and other data that show whether vulnerable incumbents have a path to victory. If not, the party is poised to redirect money to concentrate on trying to protect up to two dozen lawmakers who appear to be in the strongest position to fend off their challengers…
This is a clear indicator that the Democrat leadership has got their own polls and they see the writing on the wall – a last ditch, desperate attempt is going to be made to save 218 House seats. This is also both logical and pointless – by pulling the plug on what are perceived to be lost causes, all the Democrats will end up doing is freeing up funds for the GOP to more strongly challenge less vulnerable Democrats.
I love smell of Democrats melting down in the morning. It smells like…victory!
