    See whole thread below. And yep, this is how Dems end up not contesting within-reach races. They don’t fund winning candidates early, they don’t fund field early, and then write viable candidates off a year in advance. And *then* drop huge $$$ on TV ads at last minute. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://twitter.com/pinboard/status/942752637111414784 …

    First, it means some Webelo intern fresh out of Wharton is going to make a spreadsheet at Democratic HQ called "Viable Candidates?" and delete anyone who didn't clear at least $100,000.

        Don’t let this fool you. Repubs have been funding electoral infrastructure generously for decades while Ds mostly snoozed. Below is D grassroots on fire, but still no real giant early funding for field (which still wouldn’t catch up in a year), etc.https://twitter.com/gelliottmorris/status/942462897229303811 …

        Democratic House challengers have raised 4x the money that Republican challengers have. We haven’t seen this level of disproportionate spending since since the GOP won 63 seats in 2010 http://www.thecrosstab.com/2017/11/05/give-me-the-money/ … pic.twitter.com/aQ5Q3eAOrH

        @Pinboard quick question, do you think candidates for US House should have paid staff? One staffer making $15/hour for just 40 hrs/wk is 1/3 of this supposedly arbitrarily high minimum

        Interesting hypothesis and probably correct.

        Now the tough part will be finding a charismatic canidiate who hasn’t grabbed an ass once in his life.

        If they're this incompetent it running elections then I don't want them in my government either. GOP is already dead.
