In reply to the discussion: It might be time for Tom Perez to step down [View all]Demsrule86
(68,556 posts)155. The DCCC has only so much money. I actually think it is a waste to use it on candidates who
are in office for about a year and who will not give us the House anyway...I supported Ossoff myself financially. But the DCCC needs to work for the governor's races and prepare for 18...field candidates etc. And you must recognize that the House is still gerrymandered. With a normal house, would have a wave election in 18 most likely. But that won't happen, we will have to fight for every seat and may still come up short. That is why it was so important to vote in 16 for the Democratic candidate...and those who are screaming the loudest often didn't vote for Sec. Clinton and have only themselves to blame.

Ossoff is running as a moderate-progressive. That message triggers some on the farther left.
