Alexander Burns reports on the conservative approach to the midterms that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Fearing Chaos, National Democrats Plunge Into Midterm Primary Fights New York Times 04/21/2018.

A better headline might have been " Fearing Progressives, National Democrats Scramble to Block Them in the Primaries."

Howie Klein riffs on the article in DCCC-- Tearing Up The California Democratic Party... With No One To Stop Them 04/23/2018:
