Another reason I’m glad to be an independent. State party chairs—led by the party boss from Minnesota — are more interested in protecting their fiefdoms than in maximizing success for a national candidate.
Great news for @realdonaldtrump.https://t.co/ffqnikIalW via @politico

Two of the blue-to-red US House turnovers were in Minnesota. The Democrats could have won both with some brains.

Democrats are destined to lose in 2020 with such infighting. DNC donors (like myself) must insist that the party start coming together. That means state Dem leaders as well. Everyone needs to share their voter data from the Nov 2018 election. https://t.co/aw0yu9psLk

This story is deeply troubling in a number of ways. The story doesn't discuss the control this centralization could give the DNC over which candidates get access to the voter data. Let's remember it was the DNC that worked actively against Bernie... https://t.co/Ky6SrNIol9

One of the problems with states giving the DNC all of their data is that the DNC plays favorites in what states they decide to aid and invest in. New Mexico is often at the bottom of their list. https://t.co/CDxKavpgWR

Every GOP data operative that was around 10 years ago is going to really enjoy reading this article: https://t.co/T1DYsLsnDW

The reality is it took almost 20 years of work and relationships between state parties and @RNCData before a "trust" could even think about existing. Good luck trying to jump from this distributed system right to the GOP's model... We're decades ahead.https://t.co/XeBTOYtwVT

Handing over all Democratic voting data to be run by a for-profit Silicon Valley firm seems like a stupendously dumb idea, even for the DNC. https://t.co/AbJPHnB94W

The Republican Party is already doing this. It’s why I received emails from Trump asking me to ‘stay on point’ for the midterms. I did. But even when a member, no one had that email.

Ugh - that's some sexual imagery I could have done without.

DNC Chair Goes to War with State Parties: Politico reports today:

Neither party should be allowed to collect this information, but they do. The GOP uses it efficiently.
Control over voter information is power.@kenmartin73 wants it for himself.
For him and his cohorts who wins in November 2020 is secondary.https://t.co/IqFsLriYw1 via @politico
