9. Had the DCCC gone into Kansas, it's not obvious they would have helped. They might have tried to sabotage the race.

10. It's not clear that big money at this point on the Democratic side helps Democrats win elections.

11. Based on the Kansas results, there's likely to be a wave. The DCCC's job is to shape that wave, make sure we don't get any leaders.

12. It's hard to describe how insular House Dems are. Obsessed with petty nonsense. Very weird. Senate Dems are much better.

13. The entire left worldwide is like this. Most European left parties are just as bad, if not worse.https://twitter.com/JSMilbank/status/852150292619591684 …

14. This is ideological. These are 1980s Reagan Dems in these seats. They don't see corporate power. They just don't see it.

15. They can't even imagine why Kansas voters might pick a Dem. It's just not conceivable the notion of leadership, convincing voters.

16. Senate Democrats, b/c they are far less centralized, are much more in touch with reality. Which is odd, because it's the Senate.
