I hope so,

2018-03-31 04:46:14 UTC  

he'd have to be a literal retard to believe any of the words he was spouting

2018-03-31 04:46:43 UTC  

if that guy was serious that says bad stuff about the current state of /pol/

2018-03-31 04:47:20 UTC  

because that thread on the midterm elections is how he got in in the first place, I put out a link there

2018-03-31 04:47:52 UTC  

but he definitely isn't serious

2018-03-31 04:48:12 UTC  

more than likely

2018-03-31 04:48:26 UTC  

what frustrates me if there are Republican strategists who actually think this

2018-03-31 04:49:11 UTC  

Oh there are definitely people with this retarded mindset of "if we just convince them, they'll start voting Republican!"

2018-03-31 04:50:03 UTC  

It doesn't happen and it's not worth it.

2018-03-31 04:50:36 UTC  

"we just have to _soften_ our messaging to win over the minority vote!"

2018-03-31 04:51:04 UTC  

"we'll alienate our core, but we'll win over 1% of the 30% of the electorate!"

2018-03-31 04:51:10 UTC  

I mean, sure, it'd be nice to get like 40% of the nonwhite vote, but it'd have to happen out of happenstance.

2018-03-31 04:51:13 UTC  

"we'll _sweep_ to victory!"

2018-03-31 04:51:59 UTC  

But the white vote is much more important.

2018-03-31 04:52:11 UTC  

and we're definitely not winning even 40% of the non-white vote when Republicans are in power

2018-03-31 04:52:27 UTC  

Of course

2018-03-31 04:52:38 UTC  

Look at how the blacks voted for Obama

2018-03-31 04:52:55 UTC  

that reminds me!

2018-03-31 04:53:04 UTC  

Those Black voters?

2018-03-31 04:53:11 UTC  

The _core_ of his coalition?

2018-03-31 04:53:17 UTC  

Fucking Saddam Hussein doesn't get that large a margin.

2018-03-31 04:53:19 UTC  

They didn't show up in the midterms for him

2018-03-31 04:53:40 UTC  

because it was never about the Democrats for Blacks,

2018-03-31 04:53:43 UTC  

it was about Obama

2018-03-31 04:53:49 UTC  

I'm worried the same exists with Trump

2018-03-31 04:53:59 UTC  

there is a large amount of Trump voters,

2018-03-31 04:54:02 UTC  

who love Trump,

2018-03-31 04:54:06 UTC  

but hate Republicans

2018-03-31 04:54:18 UTC  

so they'll vote for Trump, but not a GOP congressman

2018-03-31 04:54:52 UTC  

yeah, that's an issue we need to tackle

2018-03-31 04:55:31 UTC  

Trump needs to figure out how to
1) bring up his popularity
2) associate the R congressmen with him

2018-03-31 04:55:44 UTC  

Contract is the best way to bring this about

2018-03-31 04:55:44 UTC  

in specific districts!

2018-03-31 04:56:15 UTC  

some districts it would be better to separate Trump from the candidate

2018-03-31 04:57:03 UTC  

the states that are safe for a Trump-surrogate would be Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia

2018-03-31 04:57:07 UTC  

Maybe. That's what bringing up approval is for

2018-03-31 04:57:22 UTC  

And Ohio

2018-03-31 04:57:24 UTC  

potentially Missouri and Ohio

2018-03-31 04:57:29 UTC  

Indiana too

2018-03-31 04:57:37 UTC  

the problem with MO and OH,

2018-03-31 04:57:49 UTC  

So that's about 6 senate seats right there
