Failure-- baked into the cakePelosi's failed DCCC underperformed... as usual. She blames James Comey. These are the districts the DCCC and the House Majority PAC spent the most money in-- at least a million dollars in each-- along with the results for the Democratic candidate:

That's a lot of millions of dollars in failure. We'll be discussing more about these races in coming days. By the way, the outstanding progressive victories last night, Pramila Jayapal's election in Washington, Carol Shea-Porter defeating Frank Guinta, Nanette Barragan coming from way behind and beating the horrible, corrupt Democratic Party Establishment pick (Isador Hall)... none of these had anything at all to do with Pelosi or her toxic DCCC. And even in TX-21, where the DCCC refused to even ever take a call from progressive primary winner, Tom Wakely-- let alone help him try to defeat the odious and destructive Lamar Smith-- Wakely finished with the best numbers ever for a Democrat against Smith-- the first time he's ever found himself under 60%. Tom finished with the largest percentage for a Democrat and notched the most total votes against him ever. Oh, and the DSCC lost gigantically as well... worse even than the DCCC. Terrible recruiting by Jon Tester and Chuck Schumer. In 2018 the map predicts a massive Republican sweep in the Senate, probably enough to give them a filibuster-proof majority. And we'll be talking more about that in coming days as well.
