NBC "news" ^ | 2.8.18 | ALEX SEITZ-WALD

House Democrats are stepping on the gas, with plans to target over 100 Republican-held congressional districts in the November midterm elections.

At House Democrats' annual conference on Thursday, Rep. Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), is expected to tell colleagues the committee is expanding the battleground to include 101 Republicans — the largest in a decade, a Democratic source familiar with the matter told NBC News.

Sure they are. Good luck with that Demon Rats. Of course by “target” they mean “have a bunch of millennials cross their fingers AND toes”.

Let’s have that battle, dems. Winners get to drown the losers in the Ohio River.

They are coming after Mike Coffman hard here. He was the victim of a gerrymander in 2011 but so far has managed to hold on.

Right now, they do not have the money for it. They do have money to throw at the special elections that happen here or there, which is why they have had a small winning streak.

Mike Coffman’s “conservative” convictions have unfortunately been about as firm as jello. He’s been all over the map, likely because of that gerrymander, trying to portray himself as a conservative, but still pandering somewhat to the left as well. To paraphrase an old saying, If you try to stand in the middle of the road you’re going to get run over.

They will need money to do that, last I heard they have little in their coffers.

They need to gain approx. 24 seats to gain the majority.

Targeting 101 seats seems very ambitious.

You really have to review district by district, to see where GOP is most vulnerable.

Of these 101, odds are GOP retains the vast majority.

Based on money, the Dems will have some tough choices to make, as far as which races to seriously contest, and which to cut loose.

The Dems have a number of vulnerable Senate seats up in November. Plus, the vast majority of states have governor elections this year too.

They will.have to pick their battles, is the bottom line.

The DNC has $11 million in cash on hand, and they’re $6 million in debt.

With that kind of financial picture, they’ll be hard pressed to defend ‘safe’ Democrat seats.

With what money?

WATCH FOR VOTER FRAUD~!!!

That’s how Moore lost, and they are convinced they can still do it at-will.

IF THE STUPID PARTY (the GOP) DEOS NOT GET ITS HEAD OUT OF ITS A$$ W’RE RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED.

It could be as simple as demanding legislation to make all voter fraud crimes federal, and MANDATORY minimum 10 years jail time.

The democraps say there is none, so no big deal, right?

Then announce we will be looking into and vigorously prosecuting any fraud in the 2018 midterms.

None of this has to actually happen, we just have to demand it- and scare enough of them off.

They don’t want a majority, they want 60% majority.

AND WILL GET IT IF WE DON’T STOP VOTER FRAUD

DEMAND MANDATORY MINIMUM 10 YEARS JAIL TIME
