This list is as of people who are realistically running right now, btw, no dream candidates like Lindell unless he announces a run.

2018-02-16 02:43:21 UTC  

I'll add him, I've got a txt file

2018-02-16 02:43:22 UTC  

oh, that's right,

2018-02-16 02:43:29 UTC  

about gubernatorial races

2018-02-16 02:44:01 UTC  

we have an oppurtunity to expand into Connecticut,

2018-02-16 02:44:14 UTC  

so we should look into candidates for there as well

2018-02-16 02:44:17 UTC  

Minnesota, too.

2018-02-16 02:44:35 UTC  

we're talking strictly governors right now, right?

2018-02-16 02:44:55 UTC  

Pennsylvania would be a good pickup. Lots of competitive races there.

2018-02-16 02:45:34 UTC  

Colorado will probably be close.

2018-02-16 02:45:35 UTC  

yeah, I think we've kinda been putting off the gubernatorial issue because of the US congress

2018-02-16 02:46:11 UTC  

don't underestimate gubernatorial races,

2018-02-16 02:46:26 UTC  

they usually determine how districts are gerrymandered

2018-02-16 02:46:26 UTC  

we definitely need to have at least a list

2018-02-16 02:46:38 UTC  

Seems like we have New Hampshire, Maryland, and Massachusetts in the bag.

2018-02-16 02:46:52 UTC  

nothing's in the bag

2018-02-16 02:46:54 UTC  

ever

2018-02-16 02:47:19 UTC  

we've always got fight tooth and nail on everything if we want to keep what we have

2018-02-16 02:47:28 UTC  

I don't think you understand the potential of Connecticut,

2018-02-16 02:47:43 UTC  

I saw the map you posted

2018-02-16 02:47:53 UTC  

If everything that can flip flips, we can get 40 governer's mansions.

2018-02-16 02:47:57 UTC  

just 1 one more R state senator,

2018-02-16 02:48:17 UTC  

and 7 more R state reps,

2018-02-16 02:48:47 UTC  

and a R governor can redraw the map so an R can win a seat in the US House of Reps

2018-02-16 02:49:13 UTC  

that's of importance, definitely

2018-02-16 02:49:32 UTC  

it'd be great to have a US rep from that state

2018-02-16 02:50:17 UTC  

Connecticut is prime property for expansion.

2018-02-16 02:50:39 UTC  

It's majority white and has quite a lot of working class people.

2018-02-16 02:50:50 UTC  

I think that areas like Connecticut, Delaware, NH, Maine could in a decade or 2 become red states

2018-02-16 02:51:00 UTC  

NH and Maine are swing states already.

2018-02-16 02:51:19 UTC  

it's an ongoing trend, they're the canaries in the coal mine

2018-02-16 02:51:49 UTC  

I think that we'll have the GOP eventually become a big tent party like the dems used to be before the 2000s

2018-02-16 02:52:45 UTC  

The Republicans have taken Dixie from the dems, are taking the rust belt from the dems, and could take the northeast from them eventually.

2018-02-16 02:53:42 UTC  

These are the battle lines for politics in the future, the sun belt may go to the dems eventually.

2018-02-16 02:54:48 UTC  

It depends on our immigration policy.

2018-02-16 02:55:12 UTC  

yeah, we want to have hegemony over there for as long as possible

2018-02-16 02:55:55 UTC  

and I think it's possible to keep it on our side permanently if we make sure to pass the right stuff

2018-02-16 02:56:24 UTC  

If we stopped immigration from Mexico, the south will be red for quite a few decades.

2018-02-16 02:56:43 UTC  

Dixie will be red for the rest of our lives

2018-02-16 02:56:59 UTC  

The sun belt are where the demographic battle lines are
