QOTD: Winning Control Of The Senate

"Dear Democratic presidential candidates: I know all 23 of you want to run against President Trump, but only one will get that opportunity. If you truly believe your own righteous rhetoric, some of you ought to be spending your time and energy in another vital pursuit — winning control of the Senate.

I’m talking to you, John Hickenlooper of Colorado, who would have a good chance of beating incumbent Republican Cory Gardner. I’m talking to you, Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana, who could knock off GOP incumbent Steve Daines. I’m even talking to you, Beto O’Rourke, who would have a better chance than any other Texas Democrat against veteran Republican John Cornyn.

And I’m talking to you, too, Stacey Abrams of Georgia, even though you haven’t jumped in. You came within a whisker of being elected governor, and you have a national profile that would bring in a tsunami of campaign funds. You could beat Republican David Perdue — and acquire real power to translate your stirring eloquence into concrete action.' (our emphasis) -- Eugene Robinson, in a Washington Post op-ed article.

It's frustrating to see the Quixotic presidential campaigns by candidates polling 1% or less wasting their time and resources when they could be the answer to flipping the Senate (or some Governorships).

There would be nothing sweeter in 2020 -- save a landslide sweeping Trump out of office -- than to relegate corrupt, evil "grim reaper" Sen. Mitch "Missy" McConnell to the minority in the Senate. Dems can do it with the right candidates.
