      Funny. These districts (including IA-4) didn’t magically become competitive. It’s just the “Official Democrats” have been mostly ignoring them, and thus blind to the intense grassroots effort underway. So they didn’t get much polling. And then there’s a poll and everyone’s 😱.https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1059126010292195329 …

      I watched the PA-11 folks canvas for the last year, for example. They knocked on doors where they were met with huge surprise. People were like, huh, what? It was hard work for the canvassers. Suspicion and surprise all day.https://twitter.com/danielmarans/status/1058839881655508993 …

      If Steve King is in trouble, could @jessforcongress be a new King in the House? It’s a district Trump won by 26 points and written off by Dem national groups, but they knocked on 10,000 doors today alone. pic.twitter.com/oWzgMOctWA

      My point isn’t about hope but that the official Democratic Party is still not fully meeting the enormous grassroots energy. It’s possible they will lose winnable seats because they wrote them off as unwinnable early on based on some spreadsheet in DC.https://twitter.com/metatone2/status/1059146055634300929 …

          So many like that. It’s the same kind of problem that leads to assuming PA and WI are safe Democratic votes, so no need to fight that hard for them. In 2018, the D grassroots may be saving the party from its centralized complacency. May. Problem remains.https://twitter.com/danothebeach/status/1059149377523146752 …

          Devin Nunes’ seat is also under a lot of pressure from a local Democratic candidate, who is even supported by the local big newspaper (they even switched sides). Big Democratic Party? Crickets.

          And more generally this brazenly outs the defects in our democracy. Lancaster county is still largely rural agricultural area. The Twitter diplomacy engine is used by a very low percentage. Compare Jess King's small cadre of Twitter activists to @BetoORourke's ! Huge difference.

          We have yet grasped the extent of DWS’s malpractice & certainly not the long term costs to @TheDemocrats Rebuilding trust will take time & resources presently unavailable because trust was violated - a circularity like being poor that’s all but inescapable

          I've been ignoring the national party ever since Howard Dean was forced out as DNC chair and the party killed his 50-state strategy.

          Could this be because, instead of engaging people who didn't vote for them (or for anybody else), they basically blamed them outright for Trump's win? Because that's the vibe I've been continually getting from the left since Hillary lost.
