"I am not a 'when they go low, we go high' kind of girl,” said TX state Rep. Jolanda Jones. “If they go low, I'm going to the gutter."

Enraged Democratic candidates turn on their leaders: "You've got to be able to fight ugly"

"If they go low, I'm going to the gutter," one Democratic House candidate said.
