The Dems are using the JBE model for 2018

So, this morning I'm listening to America's First News with Gordon Deal (syndicated news radio) and he's interviewing a writer from WSJ about a new Dem strategy.
He says the Dems are recruiting a specific kind of candidate to run in red districts in order to unseat the GOP Congressmen. They're finding veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. They've already got 15 committed to run and are recruiting another 15 to 20.
All of these vets are white and all of them are men except for 2 women. Some were wounded in action. All of them will run with 'I served my country in battle now I want to serve my country in Congress'.
They will all be portrayed as centrist and not part of the Dem left catering to minorities and gays.
Once elected and the Dems take over the House they will follow the lead of the left wing leadership.
Will it work? Hey, it worked in La.

Also, JBE won because Vitter was such a terrible candidate. JBE basically had to just show up and not be a communist.

And I call bullshite on this...there is NO WAY the left is going to run all those white men!

Not a chance in hell those white guys have a chance of brining out the minority vote.
im not sure who this guy even is but I love the fact that he said "hey they're centrist vote for them!" Then "well once they get in they'll just go for straight hardcore left positions"

"Will it work? Hey, it worked in La."
Running a candidate more tailored to a district's tastes is almost always better. However, the opponent matters a lot. One wonders whether Edwards could have defeated any of the main GOP candidates other than Vitter.

He didn't use those words. He implied it. He's got a Jewish last name and he writes for WSJ. I'll be on lookout for his articles. I've probably read some but didn't check the author's name.

JBE has governed far to the left of his campaign. Or perhaps you heard one of his stump speeches "And if I'm elected I'll make at least 5 attempts to raise your taxes."

I expect him to tell the truth in the campaign. He did not. Don't make any stupid excuses. Answer the question. Has he governed to the left of his campaign or not?

So now they regret tossing Jim Webb overboard?

I do. This is a correction that has to be made.

They're not gonna nominate a centrist President. But it's OK to have centrist Congressmen to help you take back the majority as long as your leadership in the House remains hard left.

You must read it more than me because I don't know what the hell 'the hayride' is.

I have a hard time believing white men who served active duty will follow lockstep with the SJW progressive agenda
