We weren't going to swipe all those suburban districts with nominees from the far left. NewDem Pac had a better general election record than DCCC and light years superior to any of the left wing groups. If we allow the left wing groups to keep forcing candidates who don't fit the district or the state we'll end up with more unforced errors like Andrew Gillum over Gwen Graham.
