The D Guys have been chanting 'good sign' ever since Alabama. Every one of their losses have been a 'good sign' of things to come. And when they win they are insufferable. Maybe that's why they don't win very often.
How many of these races have been in swing districts? The ability to hold on to a safe seats isn't going to determine the House, the ability to hold on to swing or marginal seats is what will determine it.

MS Pelosi was campaigning in El Paso, TX over the weekend - which makes zero sense to me.
That is a SOLID BLUE district that only contains El Paso. Probably raising money - she said "vote for Democrats so that illegal aliens will have "leverage" in Congress. (she didn't use the term "illegal" or "aliens" .... something like "immigrants fleeing from abuse" or something and "do it for the children".
Leftists are campaigning against ICE & want the border Open - this is what will cross the border.

Meanwhile - in the sister city to El Paso is Ciudad Juarez - the Drug Wars have heated back up.

As the homicides mount in Ciudad Juárez, there is fear that history will repeat itself
Increasing homicide figures point to a repeat of the city's painful past |Mexico News Daily -Wednesday, August 8, 2018


There were 541 violent homicides in Ciudad Juárez in the first six months of 2018, according to a count conducted by the newspaper Milenio, an increase of 35.2% compared to the second half of last year.

I guarantee one Democrat that doesn't need her help and that is O'Rourke
He has specifically asked the national party to step away unles specifically requested
Done all his money raising directly

Plus saw where Kobach's lead was cut because of a "discrepancy" found in one precinct
I guess I want him to win the primary if it DOES make him lose in the general
But there is no guarantee of that...

I also agree with this. Dems need a fresh face in there. The old guard needs to stand down. House candidate Democrats right now have the benefit of running not against their opponent but as a check against Trump. However, House Republicans can stand up Pelosi as the generic argument for why Republican House candidates should win instead.

Oh, that and the Nunes Doctrine that Republicans should be elected to protect Donald Trump.

Apparently Kobach has had false information about processing ballots--uncounted and that we're in the mail on Election Day--
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/08/10/p...unt/index.html
This is the same guy who was censored by a trial judge hearing the case brought against the Kansas voter ID law Kobach defended and ordered him to attend a class on rules of evidence

What law school did Koback attend?
I guess he is an attorney if he is Attorney General for Kansas...just not one that understands the law...

Some say it's a Referendum on President Trump
Seriously? With the economy booming, more money in peoples pockets, and all the other good news? The Democrats want to take away your tax cut, bring back the failed Obamacare, and everything that kept the economy at below 3% GDP for eight long years! If you love misery, vote Democrat.

Fat chance.
