Right Wing Network started Multi-Million Dollar Campaign to Target Vulnerable Democrat Senators

Look for a lot of these turd blossoms to spring up to attack Democratic senators for resisting Der Prez Trump.
I just heard an ad from them on Worcester radio station 96.1FM. And they are attacking Sen. Warren for obstructing Trump's supreme court nominee. I bet they are making a lot of these cookie cutter ads for other senators as well.

Multi-Million Dollar Campaign Targets Vulnerable Democrat Senators

For Immediate Release: Monday, Jan. 9

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) today announced plans for a national campaign to confirm President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court. Coming off of its historic “Let the People Decide” victory in the Garland nomination battle, JCN will engage a comprehensive campaign of paid advertising, earned media, research, grassroots activity, and a coalition enterprise, all adding up to the most robust operation in the history of confirmation battles. JCN and its allies will focus on states where Senate Democrats are vulnerable in 2018, particularly those where Trump won by large margins. JCN spent more than $7 million in its Let the People Decide effort, and it expects to spend at least $10 million to confirm the next justice.

“We are preparing to launch the most robust campaign for a Supreme Court nominee in history and we will force vulnerable Senators up for re-election in 2018 like Joe Donnelly and Claire McCaskill to decide between keeping their Senate seats or following Chuck Schumer’s liberal, obstructionist agenda,” said Carrie Severino, Chief Counsel and Policy Director of the Judicial Crisis Network.

“Any vulnerable Senator who signs up for Schumer’s obstructionist strategy will pay a heavy price in 2018. Exit polls showed that over one fifth of voters said the Supreme Court was a primary reason for their vote and of that large percentage of Americans, Trump won those voters by a resounding 57-40 margin. And he won some of those states by overwhelming margins. The President-elect clearly has a mandate when it comes to the Supreme Court and this effort will ensure that the will of the people prevails,” Severino continued.

This is just screaming and having a tantrum to put another RWer on the Bench. If Democrats don't obstruct and fight like hell to keep that seat empty - doing exactly what Repubs did to Merrick Garland - then it's almost a guarantee that they'll lose seats. But if they fight as hard and as viciously as Republicans are gearing up to do, and tell the American voter that Republicans kept the 9nth seat empty out of partisanship, then they won't have a problem being reelected.

We - and Repubs, too -expect their elected officials to fight like mad. No guts, no glory.

I think it was called the DNC, and Howard Dean was its boss.

Not sure what happened after that.

have a mandate?

It's incredible how they conservatives assert things that are demonstrably not true.

Even with a straight face sometimes.
