Some of those might be more "conservative" than I would like but we cannot continue with the present Republicans in charge.

I do believe that a strong Speaker can bend them toward a working majority once they are in power.

For example, in Kentucky, it is very difficult to win if you are not pro-NRA or if you are perceived to be against the coal industry. Just a fact.

But in traditional Democratic states like Wisconsin or Minnesota, we should be able to challenge the Republican incumbents, I would think?

18 seats. That is all we need.
