Saw an interesting story in Hullabaloo today. Digby linked to an article in The Washington Examiner (which I am not inclined to do). The thing that caught my eye was this quote from The Examiner story:
Some Republicans assumed that the progressive energy fueling the Democratic Party’s green wave of fundraising and activism in 2018 would cool down post-election. According to this line of this line of thinking, seizing the House, and exercising the power it afforded, would satisfy some of the hunger to combat Trump.
But some Republicans are warning colleagues to ignore this conventional wisdom after seeing the initial wave of first quarter fundraising figures from House Democrats who were elected just last November and are far from household names. “Democrats are serious about defeating the president and they want a House that will be helpful,” said a veteran Republican strategist, who requested anonymity to avoid publicly criticizing the party.
“In 2018, Democrats were just getting started,” this operative added. [My emphasis]
I found this very encouraging. The momentum is strong in many ways. But we CANNOT falter again as we did in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. We must regain our fierce determination to vote every Republican out of office we can and an equally fierce determination to elect Democrats. In my humble way I am attempting to facilitate this. In the light, let me share some things with you:
