...with a bit of political capital do more to help candidates like Beto, Rosen, Nelson, or Bredesen make up ground in their respective races. There should be a full press to help push these candidates across the line and all I'm really hearing from "leadership" is crickets.

Each campaign is different. Some want national help and some don't. Funtatlaguy Oct 2018 #1

I've been volunteering for campaigns for decades. Candidates want endorsements and candidates Ninga Oct 2018 #4

I think it could help Rosen and Nelson. Texas and Tennessee on the other hand, I'm dubious. bearsfootball516 Oct 2018 #2

Has he endorsed any of the candidates mentioned in the op? N/T WeekiWater Oct 2018 #13

pretty sure they don't want his endorsement JI7 Oct 2018 #17

Since he is campaigning for Rosen I would say yes. Since Bredesen said he woukd Nanjeanne Oct 2018 #37

So one out of four, possibly. WeekiWater Oct 2018 #38
