snip of article:

Next to electing a Democratic president, the Democratic National Committee’s top goal for 2020 is achieving a majority in the U.S. Senate — which would require flipping four Republican-held seats while keeping every seat they are defending. And journalist Alayna Treene, in a report for Axios, stresses that a key part of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s 2020 election strategy will be aggressively ramping up attacks on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a.k.a. Moscow Mitch.


Pelosi, according to Axios’ sources, doesn’t believe that attacking President Donald Trump is enough for Democrats — they need to be focusing heavily on anti-McConnell messaging as well. A Democratic aide, quoted anonymously, told Axios that vilifying McConnell “is something even the more moderate Democrats can glom onto” because “he’s seen as the face of obstruction and Trump’s enabler in the Senate. It’s easy to message against him.”








Get him Speaker.

2. She's right...a Democratic president WITH "Senate Majority Leader Moscow Mitch" is...

...just four years of headaches of a different flavor.

5. This is good strategy

Go after him on everything including his massive mind- blowing corruption

[KPN]

6. Yay. At the same time, I would think going

after McConnell as well is an obvious. He’s a ripe and critical target. Glad that as a whole, our party recognized and is emphasizing this.

7. Just one more piece of evidence that Nancy is playing chess, not checkers.

Impeachment is not her only concern. She is also working on getting the Senate back and taking greater control of the House, and she is coordinating all three. She may seem too slow for some in moving some of her chess pieces, but she is very deliberate and long-ranging. To continue with a chess metaphor, the end goal is not a check, it's a check mate.
