After being spurned by more prominent names, Dems are counting on lesser-known figures to topple GOP senators in 2020

Instead, they’re hoping voters can get pumped about Theresa Greenfield, Cal Cunningham and Sara Gideon.After their highest-profile recruits passed on Senate campaigns, Democrats are relying on a collection of relatively unknown and untested candidates to retake the Senate in 2020 — a challenging task given a map tilted toward Republican territory.

But Democrats argue that with Trump’s approval underwater in battleground states like Colorado, Arizona and Iowa, and a GOP primary brewing in North Carolina, they’re in position to take advantage of a potentially favorable environment. “We're at the beginning stages of these races,” said Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, the chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “We have until the end of this year to get folks into these Senate races and be formidable and take on these Republican incumbents who are unfavorable in their states. I've never had a concern about it.”

But they largely moved on from those potential candidates early in the cycle.

Idiots

Democrat strategy in 2018 was to commit voter fraud in California, I don't think they can do that nationwide

This is exactly what happened in the House in 2016

Oh I’m sure this strategy can’t miss. Ugh...

I like this strategy.
