How would you rate Cheri Bustos' performance as DCCC Chair?

[The Undefeatable Debbie Stabenow]

I guess I have a hard time understanding why 2020 is being deemed a massive indictment of the DCCC's strategy when they only won two fewer districts than Biden and the six closest House races were all Democratic losses (i.e. a ~1% shift to the left would've made a massive difference). Yeah, some of the losses in Biden districts (namely the four CA flips) probably could've been avoided if resources were allocated better. But, generally speaking, I think that we attribute too much importance to the role of the DCCC/NRCC chair. Considering that Biden only ran a tad ahead of the House Democrats, it seems to me like there was a general Democratic baseline that year and House Democrats more or less met it overall.

I mean, she clearly didn't exceed expectations, so I don't think particularly highly of her tenure, nor will I miss her in this position. But I think that she probably bears little personal responsibility for the somewhat disappointing outcome.
