UNPOPULAR OPINION:

For the 2022 midterms, I think we should focus on only a handful of Republican held seats in the Senate, because some of them are so Safe R and the state party is so diminished you run the risk of another Amy McGrath disaster.

I think we spread ourselves too thin in 2020. Jamie Harrison, MJ Hegar, and Mike Espy were the only ones worth funding. And even then they should have been a second priority, not the primary focus.

2022 is already going to be a tough lift. We will be defending four incumbents (Hassan, Cortez Masto, Kelly, and Warnock.)

Then you have your Tier 1 races: WI-SEN, PA-SEN, and NC-SEN that are true tossups.

That's 53.

Then you have your Tier 2 races that deserve a quality candidate and oodles of money: OH-SEN and FL-SEN. If Grassley retires, IA-SEN gets added to this tier.

That's it. We're not beating anyone else. I don't intend to give to anyone else.

Ten seats + dozens of House races + 4-6 Governorships is plenty to focus on. I don't need to waste money on funding Rand Paul's challenger who will win 30% of the vote as he cruises to re-election.

My focus will be on those ten Senate seats and maybe a dozen House seats. We also need to keep in mind the governorships. PA, AZ, and MD are already up for grabs. Take those three and we tie the GOP 25-25-.

Assuming Charlie Baker will run for re-election, that's another Safe R.
