"SNIP............
Emboldened by Donald Trumps struggles in the presidential race, Democrats in Congress are laying the groundwork to expand the list of House Republicans they will target for defeat as part of an effort to slash the Republicans 30-seat majority and even reclaim control if Mr. Trump falls further, the New York Times reports.
Mr. Trumps unpopularity, which has already undermined the partys grip on the Senate, now threatens to imperil Republican lawmakers even in traditionally conservative districts Democrats are particularly enticed by Mr. Trumps dwindling support in affluent suburban areas including those near Kansas City, Kan.; San Diego; Orlando, Fla.; and Minneapolis where Republicans ordinarily win with ease. Mr. Trump is so disliked among college-educated voters, especially white women, that he is at risk of losing by double digits in several districts that the 2012 Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, carried comfortably.

There's a great Democratic candidate running for PA-12. Her name is Erin McClelland. Here's her website: http://www.erinforpa.com/
Help Pennsylvania get rid of that Tea Party Goober, Keith Rothfus. He was voted one of the most ineffective members of Congress!

Looks like we're stuck with Kelly, so I sent Erin a few bucks.
Good luck to her. She and Katie will represent us well!

Erin really has a chance to beat that do-nothing, gerrymandered jerk, Keith Rothfus.

Hopefully we're fielding candidates for every seat and office.
