Former Democratic leaders blast party’s ‘risky and unethical’ meddling in GOP primaries

In Pennsylvania, where Democrats intervened on behalf of hard-liner Doug Mastriano in that state’s gubernatorial primary, Mastriano appears now to have at least a credible chance of winning. | Carolyn Kaster/AP PhotoAbout three dozen former Democratic House and Senate members have signed on to an open letter blistering national Democrats for their meddling in this year’s Republican primaries, often to the benefit of pro-Donald Trump hard-liners.

“As former members of Congress and the Cabinet, we oppose any practice that intentionally elevates election deniers,” the letter reads. “And as members of the Democratic Party, we are dismayed by the recent practice of Democratic organizations intervening in Republican primaries to promote candidates who deny the outcome of the last presidential election.”

It goes on: “These destructive primary tactics aim to elevate Republican candidates who Democrats hope they can more easily beat in November. But it is risky and unethical to promote any candidate whose campaign is based on eroding trust in our elections. We must stop this practice, and stop today.” The letter’s signatories include former senators and House members from across the country, including former Sens. Gary Hart of Colorado and Carol Moseley-Braun of Illinois, as well as former House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt. Former Colorado Gov. Roy Romer, a former general chair of the Democratic National Committee, also signed on.

5 sigma Demoncrats. Oh yea.

Good! Terrible strategy that is less foolproof than it is foolhardy!

Why not call out Republicans for boosting people like Jill Stein & Andrew Yang. Isn’t that also risky and unethical?

For once please stop the in fighting.

Thanks, Politico. I'll keep in mind that the existence of unhinged GOP radicals is the fault of the Democrats. Thanks for the daily reminder. Those poor Republicans.....

It’s called gambling

It worked out really well when Hillary’s campaign elevated Trump in 2016 😎
