House Democrats hit GOP over town hall protests in Twitter ad campaign

9. I so hope you're right. We were literally due for

a major wave of change toward liberalism after the wave toward conservatism that was ushered in with reaganism, but huge money committed to moving the electorate and thus government right altered that--somewhat. The wave did come late and elect Obama and a majority did elect a Democratic successor.

Btw and fwiw, I really don't understand this blanket commitment of some to a 50-state strategy-fits-all-situations thing. Imo, we should commit to developing a really well-equipped tool box and using whatever the current situation calls for.

Pub strategy and ruthlessness, and dark money investments, have been winning for them, and they definitely didn't choose a screwdriver based on ideology where a hammer was needed. They didn't bother with big vote suppression efforts and/or flooding of campaign attention in all 50 states, or even in most districts in each state chosen. Just some very carefully chosen ones, based on research, that would yield the big bang, and those changed as needed between their 2010 takeover in Congress and 2016.

Just a thought. I envy you living in a great political region with so many good people and possibilities. When we moved to Georgia, I thought the liberalization wave would raise its boat at least somewhat with the rest, not dump it in a trough.
