Here's the downside to tonight's news about Shontel Brown winning...

[brooklynite]

$5.4 Million that could have gone to held hold our House Majority got spent to put a Democrat in a safe Democratic seat.

1. There's plenty more millions where that came from.

The Republican Party doesn't control all the money.

Yet.

[PortTack]

2. DNC is has been out raising the rnc steadily..we needed Shontel to win. Turner would have

Been nothing but trouble

[Demsrule86]

3. Nina turner is not a Democrat so had she won, it would not have been 'safe' at all. I saw and

heard her discuss Democrats in very negative ways.

4. Balderdash! We got Who We WAnted..

Shontel Brown!

ETA.. There is NO "downside".

[George II]

5. A downside to a Democratic primary election? What would you have preferred? We don't....

....choose candidates in smoke filled rooms

[brush]

6. Turner has bashed Dems for years. It was money that needed to be spent.

With two infrastructure bills needing Dem unity to get them and voting rights done, we don't need more loose-cannon discord in the Dem House caucus.

[Cha]

7. Thanks for explaining that so

eloquently to the OP!

We are So Fortunate to get a Dem who will work with Pres Biden & Speaker Pelosi!

[brush]

8. Hey, Cha. TY. Good to here from you again.

[mcar]

16. This +1000!

[DFW]

9. The consequences of a Turner win would have cost us more

Every embarrassing quip Turner would utter would be replayed by Republicans nationwide over YouTube in every close campaign with the caption, “Listen to what Democrats are saying.” The damage control would have cost us fifty times that. The DNC got off with a bargain.

10. Unnnn, that's not even half the story here ... Come on

[hlthe2b]

11. $5.4 million to prevent a MTG-like bomb-thrower on "our side" in the House? Well spent.

[betsuni]

12. +1

[lapucelle]

13. Why not frame this as the downside to Nina Turner losing?

Putting this on Shontel rather than Nina is.... interesting.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

14. The $5.4 million is the amount raised by Nina and none of her donors are going to donate to the DCCC

I know that you are on the Justice Democrats email list. These emails are sad but funny. One of the repeated key themes is that the DCCC is evil and supports establishment or corporate Democrats. There is no way that donors to Nina would donate to the DCCC

15. +1
