Meet Cheri-- too dumb and too "racially insensitive" for the jobIn 2018, Republicans lost most of the districts they controlled where whites weren't the majority. There are only 11 left and if the DCCC knew how to target them-- they don't, especially not chairwoman Cheri Bustos-- they could win most of them in 2020 and the rest in 2022.

The Republicans have two ways to protect themselves from a demographic catastrophe-- gerrymandering or attracting support from non-whites. They seem to prefer the former. One district the Democrats should be able to re-take next year is CA-23 which is 69.5% Latino. You'd think the DCCC would have had the thought to recruit a Latino; but if you'd think that, you wouldn't grasp how incompetent and stupid the DCCC is. Or maybe they somehow think a Filipina is a Latina. Despite themselves they'll probably win the seat, which was the seat of the only African-American Republican congressman. Was, because Will Hurd is sick of dealing with Trump and with his party's racism and has decided to retire (at age 42).Hurd just did an interview the aired yesterday on HBO-Axios, a short clip of which is just above. "I do believe," Hurd said, "that if the Republican Party doesn't start looking like the rest of the country, there won't be a Republican Party in this country... Minorities, people under the age of 29 and women with a college degree in the suburbs are not choosing the Republican Party... We know where the trends are going [and we] know what we need to do..."
