(10,173 posts)As I've said in this thread, it is not about having a difference of opinion on policy.
It's not about having an opinion about politics in other regions of America.
My concern is about a freshman wanting to direct her attention to districts not her own with the intent to primary incumbents. Her political capital can be better spent working with her colleagues and building a network of allies. If she wants to embark on a project to influence other districts outside her own at this time, I'll be paying close attention to which and how that impacts the chances of Dems in those districts she has in her sight - especially if in those districts a more moderate Democrat may be a better fit..
The enemy are the Republicans, I'd like us to remember that.
