NEW ORLEANS Democrats are salivating over President Donald Trumps escalating feud with the powerful Koch network, hopeful it could weaken Republicans heading into the midterms.

Inslees remarks, on the sidelines of the progressive gathering Netroots Nation, came as activists and Democratic Party officials here and elsewhere delighted in the infighting in the GOP.
Its almost as good as watching the last 'Avengers' movies! said Jaime Harrison, associate chair of the Democratic National Committee and a former South Carolina state party chair. Must see TV!
