More Democrats need to run on this and NOT on Pelosi's insane idea of restoring PAY-GOTwo very different polls with interesting information came out this morning, one from Quinnipiac and one from Monmouth. Both carry very bad news for the GOP.

Ojeda and ManchinWV-03-- the southern third of West Virginia-- had two populist landslides in 2016. First Bernie beat Hillary by over 20 points and, in many counties got more votes than Trump did on the same day in the GOP primary.
