He was talking about supporting the re-election of senators from red states who vote yes. Of course they would do so; winning elections is the DNC's function. Stupid question, and equally stupid outrage. Of course, nobody bothers to watch the video.https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1045757962533457921 …

That's basically what he tried to do by talking about how awful Kav is. He was pressed to give an answer to an obvious question and he reluctantly did. I can't stand the Manchins & Heitkamps, but when you have an incumbent in a red state, it'd be malpractice not to support 'em.
-
So you and I agree he flubbed the politics of his answer. He tried to do the smarter thing and failed.
-
Not really. I guess he could have refused to give an answer when pressed for one, but I think people would have given him a hard time for that as well.

Also, you might stop making the DNC into the party. The DNC doesn't believe in anything but winning elections because that's its primary function.
-
I wish they knew how to do that.
-
What's the win-loss record under the group currently running the show? I think it's pretty good.
-
Well yes, Michael Steele oversaw the 2010 wave. Sometimes you’re in the right place at the right time.
-
So they're bad at winning elections even when they win elections? OK.
-
Also the DNC has barely played in these special elections. That’s not really their role. But if you wanna credit Tom Perez with the coming potential wave, ok.
-
You're the one who thinks the DNC's management is a very important story worthy of many, many pieces. But if you're saying it's primarily a fundraising org that doesn't set policy or have all that much impact on people's lives, then we're in agreement.
-
Huh? You can count on one hand the stories I’ve done on the DNC.
