WASHINGTON Former astronaut Mark Kelly, the Democratic Partys hope for flipping a U.S. Senate seat in Arizona, tried to do no harm this month when he was asked about Sen. Bernie Sanders. I will ultimately support who the nominee is of the Democratic Party, he said.
That was enough for Kellys Republican rival, Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., who is trailing him in early polls, to go on the attack. The television spot she debuted days later spent nearly as much time talking about plans by the democratic socialist from Vermont to raise taxes and award new benefits to undocumented immigrants as it did about Kelly.
As Sanders, a political independent, builds what could eventually be an insurmountable delegate lead, many Democratic House and Senate candidates are approaching a dramatic shift in their campaigns, as they recalibrate to include praise of capitalism and distance themselves from the national party. Top campaign strategists from both major parties view Sanders success as a potentially tectonic event, which could narrow the partys already slim hopes of retaking the Senate majority and fuel GOP dreams of reclaiming the House, which it lost amid a Democratic romp in 2018.
I can tell you that there are a lot of down-ballot jitters based on my conversations with my former colleagues, said former Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., a longtime confidant of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who led congressional election efforts from 2011 to 2015.
Donald Trump is going to offer the American people this choice: Do you want to continue building the economy, or do you want to lurch toward socialism? And that is a real powerful argument in the Democratic districts that Trump won in 2016.

Kelly is an A**hole. But, McSally is a very, very, very weak candidate.
I don't like McSally, and would never vote for her in the primaries, but she is the Republican candidate, and she has supported Trump. So, I will hold my nose and vote for her. :(

an anti-Bernie wave to wash away the Democrat House lead would be nice.
I’m sure that she’s fuming. ;)
Looks like Sanders cleaned up in Nevada.

New swing States new Mexico Oregon and new Jersey this puppy is over by June only issue is how much carnage

Who cares what you think? I don’t.
All Democrats are nothing more than little Bernies. It shows in their voting. They just haven’t come out of the closet yet.
I think you are handsome and highly intelligent!
We should not forget all those people in the Clinton White House wearing the (Vladimir) Lenin lapel pins. Those people have not changed their ideology, the only difference between them and Bernie is they want to do it in a sneaky way (Obama) and Bernie wants an immediate revolution.

I hope you are busy there making an emotional exaggeration.
If you were correct, and you are not ...... the country would be sunk.

Don't tell them. They may listen.

That would be nice ............. a Bernie miracle.
