In the 2014 cycle — the DCCC and DSCC outdid themselves with fundraising appeal after fundraising appeal about how we were doomed to lose so please donate. You know what — they worked great as far as fundraising.
The cost — voters who assumed we were going to lose so they didn’t show up.
This from the DCCC today:
Someone needs to freaking call these clowns and tell them to STOP. The “we’re ahead but need every vote because this is close” is a much better message. The stupidity is that the fundraisers are measured on one thing — raising money. Different people are measured on wins vs. losses. The Clinton team is the best data team ever — they need to get on the phone with the DCCC and fix their message.
