but he definitely isn't serious

more than likely

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

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

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

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

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

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

"we'll _sweep_ to victory!"

But the white vote is much more important.

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

Of course

Look at how the blacks voted for Obama

that reminds me!

Those Black voters?

The _core_ of his coalition?

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

They didn't show up in the midterms for him

because it was never about the Democrats for Blacks,

it was about Obama

I'm worried the same exists with Trump

there is a large amount of Trump voters,

who love Trump,

but hate Republicans

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

yeah, that's an issue we need to tackle

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

Contract is the best way to bring this about

in specific districts!

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

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

Maybe. That's what bringing up approval is for

And Ohio

potentially Missouri and Ohio

Indiana too

the problem with MO and OH,

So that's about 6 senate seats right there

is there is a black bloc in St. Louis and Cleveland that could surge

Yeah, that's the problem that sunk AL

the black bloc

if Trump is to campaign in Missouri,
