DSCC Chair Masto & Leader Schumer need to shine.

She’s only been in the job for six months, as this article from November shows.

But, Senator Masto and Senator Schumer really need to pick up their game and recruit like hell to help the Dems take back the Senate.
Getting the Senate back is almost as important as getting the Presidency back.

In their defense, they tried really hard to talk Abrams in Georgia into running but she said no.
I’m not sure about why Joaquin Castro said no to running against Cornyn in Texas.
That being said, Trumps taxes, Muellers testimony, a slippage in the economy or other unforeseen events may bring Trumps approval numbers back down to the mid to low 30’s before November 2020.
If that happens, we could be talking a Democratic landslide.

To take advantage of Presidential coattails, we need some quality Senate candidates especially in purple areas like Maine, NCarolina, Arizona, Colorado, and even Georgia and Texas.

So, come on Masto and Schumer. Load up your suitcases with candles and candies and cakes and other goodies and hit the road to those states and entice some Dems that can win to jump aboard! We need the Senate!!
