Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    For all their reported disarray Dems are doing a lot right this year, which makes you wonder what would have happened in 2016 if Dems had had a not utterly incompetent person running the DNC for most of the cycle.https://twitter.com/DanMartinTalks/status/1039976974117154818 …

    The @DNC has a new Director of Voter Protection, and she is amazing. She led the voter protection in #NV in 2016, working to flip the state legislature from red to blue and see @CatherineForNV win her Senate seat. Really excited about this. https://twitter.com/thebeatdc/status/1039623365659488257 …

        There is a certain matter of Senate D's rubber stamping all those Trump federal judges. Oh and giving Trump more military funding than requested. Oh and adopting paygo. Oh and supporting payday lenders. Oh and not meaningfully de-corrupting their nominations process. Oh and

        I was speaking of DNC, so just the electoral stuff, but grant that the larger Dem apparatus fucked up some nominations.

        Pro Tip: Trashing the DNC, the Democratic Party, Democratic office holders, and Democratic candidates depresses turnout and negatively impacts Democratic candidates. If you are concerned about protecting votes, don’t discourage voters from voting Democratic.

        Agreed, though I would say the DNC had an incompetent person at the helm for the *entire* cycle. Let's not forget that 2000 should have been a lay-up for Gore, which Donna B managed to fumble away.

        (Yes, many factors produced Gore's loss/the fact that it was close enough for SCOTUS to pick their boy. Not solely caused by campaign mgr.)

        DWS was a disaster and Obama’s reluctance to step in and pressure her out was a mistake. Love the guy but this was a big goof.

        You are exactly wrong about this. Tom Perez is the nicest, smartest totally incompetent DNC director you’ve ever met.

        The problem is that you learn about politics from the media, and they have no idea what they are talking about. You’re confusing @dccc and @repbenraylujan with @DNC

        Any success of the Dems is due more to the people themselves bypassing the DNC, imo.
