But that is very, very rarely what ever happens. And that it's rare is not new, scheming as to how make the other guy look bad predates by millenia the Romans and Greeks and the spawning of the very first ideas about some viable way of ruling other than simply "might makes right".
The odd and rare thing is, that in the wake of the 2016 Dem disaster, just standing up and saying what you're for suddenly IS actually a really viable strategy for once. As evidence I'd cite the rise of Klobuchar's star on the national stage. Someone who is measured, doesn't engage in a lot of wildly partisan rhetoric and generally states what she thinks and what she is for. It seems to be working pretty well.
But there's no way that is going to be the plan from here to the mid-terms for anybody. Rover often appears to me to be in complete sync with the DNC brain trust as far as how they think. And what does Rover say a page or two back? Max outrage. Generating max outrage is the thing that will win in November. And I think that's 100% in sync with the DNC. Despite the fact that it was a loser in 2016, and despite the existence of some on the left lamenting even the halcyon days of GWB, a man considered by them to be at his very best a satanic mashup of Genghis Khan, Hitler, and Lloyd Christmas -- Still the belief clearly remains, if they just stick with it, if they can just turn it up to 11, or even 14, they will win in 2018. Maybe that is right and maybe they will.
Personally (and granted, I'm not all that smart) I think it's kind of dumb. As swing voters rebel from Trump's craziness and go in search of refuge, what do they find? Rather than the calm, soothing voice of sanity the swingers are longing for, it's going to be candidates who are pushed to engage in even more wildly partisan and inflammatory rhetoric designed to whip the base into whirling dervishes of max outrage. It's a bold strategy...Originally posted by WiscTJKI'm with Wisko and Tim.Originally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?

Re: SCOTUS 14: Confirming a Rabid Partisan to Own the Libs
Why not both? 50-state strategy. This isn’t a one size fits all nation. In some areas, maximum outrage. In others, fundamentals. Tailor the effort to each bloc within a state or even part of a state.
Let each state party be in charge of strategy. The national party should carefully fine tune the decisions and validate them. Stand on a basic plastform for the party; preferred qualifications. No purity tests and think big tent. 30% is always better than 0%.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

$ * (D-R) * Effectiveness = value of that dollar
Effectiveness might be the 100 minus the abs value of the delta in the polls.
You focus your money where you can get the most Congressional vote per dollar. I'm betting it tracks pretty closely with the Trump +/- on 538.
1. Jon Tester - D/2012 - MT - 47.3% delta from expected alignment w/ trump - DSCC spent $4.14 million in that race or 6.7% of their total expenses.
2. Sherrod Brown - D/2012 - OH - 40.2% - $7.0M - 11.3%
3. Claire McCaskill - D/2012 - MO - 37.4% - $3.9M - 6.2%
4. Heidi Heitkamp - D/2012 - ND - 36.3% - $4.5M - 7.2%
5. Doug Jones - D/2018 - AL - 32.2% - ??? - ???
6. Joe Manchin - D/2012 - WV - 32.0% - $0.0M - 0.0% * $0 in 2012 likely because he was polling +30. So that's where the effectiveness factor comes in.
7. Tammy Baldwin - D/2012 - WI - 32.0% - $7.9M - 12.7%
8. Joe Donnelly - D/2012 - IN - 28.5% - $4.2M - 6.8%
9. Al Franken - D/2012 - MN - 25.9% - $0.0M - 0.0% - Likely because he was polling well but public polls had him at +10-15%
10. Jeff Merkley - D/2014 - OR - 24.4% - $0.0M - 0.0% - Won by 20%
11. Robert Casey - D/2012 - PA - 24.2% - $0.2M - 0.3% - Won by 9%
12. Debbie Stabenow - $0 - Won by 20%
13. Gary Peters - D/2014 - MI - 21.4% - $5.0M - 6.8% - won by 13%
14. Tina Smith - D/2018 TBD
15. Amy Klobuchar - $0 - Won by 35%!!
16. Maggie Hassan - D/2016 - NH - 19.4% - $22.2M - 18.7%
17. Cory Booker - $0 - Won by 13%
18. Ron Wyden - $0 - Won by 33%!
...
21. Catherine Masto - D/2016- NV - 15.3% - $15.3M - 12.9%
...
23. Michael Bennett - D/2010 - 14.5% - $8.5M - 16.3%
24. Bill Nelson - D/2012 - FL - 14.1% - $5.0M - 8.0%
...
31. Tim Kaine - D/2012 - VA - 8.6% - $9.0M - 14.5% - ????????? Probably just a raw numbers game here. Protect the seat.
..
33. Chris Murphy - D/2012 - CT - 5.2% - $4.3M - 6.9%
Losses:
78. Mary Landrieu - D/2014 - LA - (-9.2%) - $5.1M - 7.0% - Lost by 11.8% :-\ w t f were they spending money here for?
79. Baron Hill - D/2016 - IN - (-9.6%) - $12.7M - 10.7% - Lost by 9.7% - more wt f? Both of these top ones are so bizarre since the people who were elected there aren't voting out of line with their state.
81. Mark Begich - D/2014 - AK - (-14.2%) - $6.4M - 8.8% - Lost by 2.2%
82. Jason Kander - D/2016 - MO - (-12.7%) - $13.0M - 11.0%
87. Richard Carmona - D/2012 - AZ - (-23.6%) - $4.0M - 6.3% Fixed
88. Bruce Braley - D/2014 - IA - (-19.3%) - $12.4M - 17.1% - Lost by 8.3%, again w t f?
94. Deborah Ross - D/2016 - NC - (-33.1%) - $24.3M - 20.6% - Lost by 5.7%
94. Kay Hagan - D/2014 - NC - (-33.6%) - $15.0M - 20.7% - Lost by 1.5%
97. Katie McGinty - D/2016 - PA - (-35.8%) - $24.8M - 21.0% - Lost by 1.5% - $10.2M in 2010 (Spector) as well. Lost there too.
99. Shelley Berkley - D/2012 - NV - (-43.1%) - $5.4M - 8.7% *Lost by 1.2% - Dean Heller is second most out of favor with the Dems relative to his state. Votes with Trump 92% of the time.
100. Mark Udall - D/2014 - CO - (-46.5%) - $10.1M - 14.0% - Lost by 1.9%. MOST out of favor with dems relative to the state. Gardner votes w/ trump 90.9%.
*There's always math, so shut up.
