        It’s less optimism & more a concrete trend if you look at the elections that have happened since the GOP destroyed Roe v. Wade.

          It’s a risky strategy though.

          The Clinton team admitted to elevating Trump for an easy win.

          How did that go?

            The Clinton team had Clinton on it. If they’d run against anyone other than Trump it would’ve been an even bigger slaughter.

      Yeah, I don’t think so Tim.

      If Trump didn’t drive all the moderate Republicans over to the Democrats, this guy isn’t gonna do it.

          No, most of them won because most of them were in uncompetitive districts.

          Most of the candidates he endorsed in the few competitive districts that still exist did indeed lose, though.
