I think the hearings are backfiring on the gop, if this is any indication:



Yesterday Elise Stefanik’s Dem challenger @TedraCobb started the day at 6,200 followers. Today Tedra started the day at 132,000 followers. Thank you to all those that retweeted and followed.

Tedra Cobb for Congress

@TedraCobb
I cannot believe this!

You have helped us raise over $500,000 to take back #NY21 and defeat @EliseStefanik

Will you chip in whatever you can today to help us reach $1 million this weekend?

I checked a bit ago and the count said 133.9K. Just now (12:38) it's at 134.1K

She has gained 2000 in the last ten minutes!
She has also raised over $300,000 since Stefanik made a fool of herself yesterday on national TV.


I threw her a ten spot yesterday. I hope she wins in a landslide.

she certainly does not come across favorably as a Harvard grad and youngest woman every elected to Congress. She is not an asset to her upstate NY district whereas Tedra Cobb seems more thoughtful and intelligent

So happy her Dem challenger, Cobb, has gained much more recognition. Onward to a blue tsunami.

George Conway says that he just donated to one of Elise Stefanik's Democratic opponents.

I just gave the legal maximum. If you believe in truth in politics and in the rule of law, you should give what you can as well.

There is a strong republican presence in upstate NY, but I think they may not care for Stefanik's behavior in the impeachment proceedings.
That district was Democrat before she got elected, and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets the heave-ho in the 2020 election.

And I'd had no idea who she was before this. So yes, the impeachment hearings are turning into the biggest Dem fundraiser ever!
