Sure, have some basic messaging in California, New York, etc. But don't waste time on TX other than making GOP play defense.

Yeah, I know I don't run campaigns...but hopefully we cover those states not only with campaign ads and door knocks but also many visits by Biden, Harris, Obama and many other proxies.

Reams of paper would have to be used as to what happened afterwards, but the Teabaggers were involved...Even winning both chamber, we only had majority for 5 months

I think it'll be PA, MI, WI, AZ and GA.

Dems can afford to lose TWO of those... not 3.

I see potential for Ohio to swing back for the same reason. Florida? I just think it is about depressing vote of conservatives sick and tired of Trump if he is nominee and motivating people of color to vote for Dems in massive numbers.

I agree Ohio and Florida are the furthest reaches on my list, but worthy ones.

if you've got Quadruple Indicted Donald Trump "Q-I-Don" winning nomination, the stink factor might just be too much for some moderates and Biden is a safe centrist incumbent they may be able to support.
