With how things are going, I doubt Eastman's victory is pivotal anymore for flipping the house.

Possibly, but considering that she's outraised Bacon I wish they would throw their weight around for her already.

[LimoLiberal]

Maybe they should focus on shoring up CA-49 first before adding 20+ point Trump seats to the list...

IN-09 is the most long shot district Ive ever considered being added to this list, but they still dont add NE-02, or the NY seat. At this point, its obviously pettiness, there is no way IN-09 is a better pickup than either.

I have no doubt internal polling plays a major part in which districts they choose to target, and from the looks of it, IN-09 might be in the ball park.

I wish Democrats had consulted with noted elections expert Limo Liberal before wasting their money in these Safe Republican districts.

If you think Democrats are winning any of these districts, I have a bridge to sell you.

If you think Democrats are winning any of these districts, I have a yacht to sell you. Vern Buchanan's yacht, specifically.

I doubt IN-09, but Democrats could totally get lucky in FL-16 and PA-16.

If only they consulted the guy that thought Roy Moore would win by a bigger margin than Trump.

After all, she essentially ousted the guy running as an incumbent. Butthurt makes the most sense. I voted for Ashford, but the butthurt from the DCCC is mind-numbingly stupid.

It's not even like Bacon is an entrenched #moderate god, either. He's a first-term representative who has voted party-line through his term! Has zero appeal to Democrats beyond calling for civility and reason yet keeps calling Eastman a stupid and evil socialist for supporting universal healthcare. Nice guy FF

Ugh.

Ugh.

I can understand voting for Ashford, he did seem stronger, but for the DCCC to keep her off the list for not having their preferred candidate is exactly how you put it.
I can understand with Kalto's district, its Kalto. A rather strong incumbent. But Bacon, hes not special. He has no brand, no appeal, nothing going for him. And yet, everyone imminently sees this as a hold for the GOP because....the Dem was not the previous rep who lost to Bacon in the first place?
I dont get it, I really dont. I hope she wins, she seems to have enthusiasm in the district, and is out raising Bacon, I see it as a tossup. We have no polling of this race, no indicators, and yet its lean R and not on the list. Ridiculous.

There is also the possibility that Eastman is choosing not to participate in the program.

True, but that would be turning down a lot of money and help. It could be that they refused earlier, but are now trying to give it to her, and she is refusing them, but based on DCCC tactics this year, and Balter not receiving help, its probably pettiness, either because they went against their chosen, or they dont like their politics.

Worth noting that Democrats won a State House special election (HD-72) against Vern Buchanan's son James this year. Trump won HD-72 by 4 points and FL-16 by 11, but Democrats won HD-72 by 7 in February, so it's not impossible for Shapiro to win.

So, "James Buchanan?" That's rather unfortunate.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

Another reason why Im considering leaving this party. What a bunch of snotty petty pricks! They wont endorse her because their candidate lost? If they don't add Eastman we should harass them until they do! We should dox Ben Ray Lujan and DCCC staffers until they add her and balter to the list!
I don't care how childish we as progressives have to be, it may be the only way to get what we want.
