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.

Just like when Hilary was “expanding the electoral map” to not only beat Trump but to have a landslide.

Aggressive words like “target”, oh my! So inappropriate, unless one is talking about a conservative.

I guess the democratics weren’t really trying until now.

In the case of the Alabama special election, 650,000 Trump voters stayed home.

If only a fraction of those people showed up at the polls, Moore would have easily won.

You nailed it.

That is how you know the Hillary wing still controls the party--rock stupid strategy combined with MSM Mockingbird talking points.

Good luck with that ... especially given the fact that the DNC is broke and has two leaders at one another’s throats.

THIS! Do not ever think this can’t happen when forces within the RNC work against pro Trump agenda canidates.

Also, our voters are sitting out in these special elections..BIG TIME. Look at the numbers in Alabama.

POTUS is going to have to go hard supporting candidates for the mid terms and not just on Twitter. With a good economy and most people supporting his stance on DACA, he needs to reinforce seats on SCOTUS and what will happen if the dems take over..it IMPEACHMENT.

Hopefully the SCOTUS appointments will be enough to light a fire under our base come mid terms.

I give Coffman a pass. He's with us on the big votes, but he's been put in a tough spot by the gerrymander.

Ironically, years ago he passed on a run at statewide office to keep what was then a safe seat.

I hope this will turn out like Hillary expanding her campaign to Arizona and Georgia - dilute their effort so they lose more in the end.

What I want to know is if the GOP is working hard to make sure that none of these democrats go unchallenged. Because the game has already begun and there is no time to dilly dally. With all of this corruption stuff coming out then the republicans have plenty to run on.

So, back to my original premise then? They are so broke they can’t pay attention, while we are almost a hundred million dollars ahead

And what is the GOP plan to defend those seats, and how many Democrat seats are they attacking?

Bueller? Bueller?
