re: #151 Decatur Deb

Maybe crushing blue-on-blue isn’t the sure path to the WH. If we are to get rid of Trump in 4 years we need every shade, age, accent, plumbing, and class of Democrat we can mobilize.

What do you think of this? How much truth to the overall premise?

Given our current political climate, you’d think the Democrats would have jumped at the chance to take back a Congressional seat and demonstrate opposition to Trump, but you’d be wrong. While Thompson managed to raise $292,000 without his party’s help, 95% of which came from individuals, neither the DNC, DCCC, nor even the Kansas Democratic Party would help him grow that total in any substantial way. His campaign requested $20,000 from the state Democratic Party and was denied.
