That's Right.....show that Demo infighting. Show that Demos establishment vs non establishment. I doubt the Demos even notice the problem. As they are out of touch with the People.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is openly rejecting a Democratic candidate in Texas, releasing research Thursday night that accused her of being a “Washington insider” just over one week before the primary.
Laura Moser is running in the crowded March 6 primary in the Houston-based 7th District. Democrats are targeting nine-term Republican incumbent John Culberson (https://media.cq.com/members/7227?utm_source=memberLink)’s suburban seat this year, after Hillary Clinton (https://media.cq.com/members/7201?utm_source=memberLink) carried the district by 1 point in 2016.
Campaign committees regularly conduct research on their own party’s candidates, but they rarely release it. Thursday’s research drop suggests national Democrats think Moser would not be able to win in November should she win the nomination.
“We are working every day at the DCCC to win the 24 seats that we need to take back the House,” DCCC communications director Meredith Kelly said Friday. “And we believe that voters who have been organizing for more than a year to hold their Republican representative accountable, they deserve to have a fighting chance in November.”
“And towards that goal we’ve always noted that we may need to get involved in primaries if there’s a general election candidate that is disqualified and would not allow them to have that fighting chance to flip the district,” Kelly said.
“The days when party bosses picked the candidates in their smoke filled rooms are over,” she said. “DC needs to let Houston vote.”
Moser is one of seven Democrats vying for the party’s nomination. If no candidate garners a majority of the vote next month, the top two will advance to a May 22 runoff.
The other top candidates in the race include nonprofit director Alex Triantaphyllis, who had raised $927,000 as of Dec. 31, and lawyer Lizzie Pannill Fletcher, who had raised $757,000. Fletcher has been endorsed by EMILY’s List, which backs female Democratic candidates who support abortion rights.
Moser has been been close behind in fundraising, raking in $617,000 through Dec. 31, according to Federal Election Commission documents......snip~
