Democrats are scrambling to make the most of the unexpected yet slender opportunity Donald Trump has given them to challenge for the House majority.

Party operatives increasingly believe that Trump’s unpopularity could create a wave that would endanger Republicans’ 30-seat edge in the House. Now, Democrats are diving into the forbidding district-by-district math, scrutinizing under-the-radar and cash-starved House candidates who haven’t gotten attention from Washington thus far, to try and get their campaigns in good enough fighting shape to take advantage of a potential Trump backlash.

1. I'm in the Fifth District of NJ with Scott Garrett.

He was Trump before Trump.

You'd think he'd be leading the Trump parade with pride. But he's been strangely silent.

Crickets.

Even Trump is radioactive to this RW zealot.

2. I just hope the money men that run the republican party

don't steal the nomination from Trump at the convention.

The orange nasty and his bagger followers are doing more lasting damage to the thug party than any democrat since FDR!
