DCCC Chairwoman Cheri Bustos has a plan to turn Texas blue, which is something we’ve heard before:
When it comes to places where Democrats can flip seats from Red to Blue, it doesn’t get any bigger than Texas! That’s why we’re opening a new @DCCC:Texas office with senior Texas leaders. Let’s fortify AND grow our Majority! ? https://t.co/SEdiSotC4G

And she went on CNN to promote the plan this morning:
DCCC Chairwoman Cheri Bustos says on @NewDay that the committee will invest heavily in Texas and target six seats in 2020. Will be looking at pumping money into Dallas, Austin, Houston and San Antonio

Now, here’s where the dunk on fellow Dem Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comes in. Remember this tweet from the celebrity socialist a few weeks ago when she told her followers to “pause” their donations to the DCCC?
The @DCCC’s new rule to blacklist+boycott anyone who does business w/ primary challengers is extremely divisive & harmful to the party.
My recommendation, if you’re a small-dollar donor: pause your donations to DCCC & give directly to swing candidates instead.
Some great ones:

Well, Rep. Bustos brought that up this morning as well, telling viewers AOC’s boycott “worked so well that we had record fundraising numbers in the first quarter”:
Responding to AOC call to hold off on donating to DCCC, Bustos throws some shade and says AOC strategy ”worked so well that we had record fundraising numbers in the first quarter.”
