1. That's helpful

He tries to raise twenty million to unseat democratic incumbents, they raise 40 million to protect their seats that’s 60 million dollars that is not spent retaking the House. That is a brilliant strategy by young Mr Hogg. What will he think of next?

2. I certainly agree with you, retaking the House needs to be our #1 priority

We have little power being in the minority. Granted, TFG cares little how Congress (or judges) rule or think, but it's our only chance to try to rescue democracy.

3. Voters re-elect incumbents because they like the job they've done representing them. Why not focus

on flipping Republican held seats? Our top priority for the midterms should be taking back Congress w big majorities.

I don’t think Hogg has really thought this through.

4. Given our minority status, that certainly makes the most sense to me

Especially since resentment is growing towards failing Republican policies.
