From my own affiliation with @pinboard and his Great Slate of Democratic insurgents, I know this is true. The DNC will yank grassroots from the ground wherever they grow, backing whatever potted plant inspires no one.https://twitter.com/willibro151/status/965748750059651072 …

Dude. The DNC has no official role & is almost always 100% not engaged in Congressional races.

Dude, the party -- through the DCCC -- decides where to throw cash at primary candidates, where to stiff a candidacy and how much resources to deliver and when. Money is targeted, or not. I'm saying the party is ineffectual in nurturing/subsidizing candidates who might grow it.

No. Not really. I’ve been on both ends. Belief that the DCCC has that much influence borders on conspiracy theory.

@pinboard, I don't know if you want to give this fellow chapter-and-verse on what is going on right now in several of your nine targeted districts. Maybe not as a matter of strategy. But I'm quite confident telling you that the specifics are such that I can safely call bullshit.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @AoDespair @Pinboard
Yeah. You’re probably right about that. I don’t know much about winning or losing Congressional races.

As a journalist, I often found that even folks with expertise talking from on high and issuing blanket declarations about what is and isn't happening, without actually assessing cases, were often in error. But you seem especially sure of yourself and your delivered generalities.

Yep. You’re definitely much better informed than me. I sense you know you are & are not at all wondering if you wandered into a dumb fight in which people who know wtf they’re talking about are cringing at your tweets.

You are doubtless better informed and have more experience than me. We are also very likely on the same side of this fight. Please enjoy this Twitter cookie:
