I'm with you, but once again, we need to play the long game. Use resources where they count. Consider his seat collateral damage.
You're never going to pull in all the people who have fled the GOP with left wing free ice cream tactics. They just won't buy into it. We need to speak on the issues at hand and show people what is at stake.
What really needs to happen is to abolish the electoral college and reconfigure the Senate by population, but I digress.
We can only do what we can do now, which is jump through every hoop they throw and get our butts to the polls. It's the only way it will change.
