States in play

As we make the case for our perspective nominees preferences I was thinking.....First..... any of these candidates that end up as nominee will likely win the popular vote. Second...Let's be real. There are only about 8 states in play ( give or take). I hope we choose the nominees that is in the best position to win those states. I think of Florida and if we can win there it's an early election night. I'm not so influenced by policy this cycle. I would support a horse over Trump but who can compete in Florida and put maybe Arizona or Georgia in play? FYI... the more I see Andrew Gillum and talk to my contacts at HBCU's - his addition would flat out add fire to that group..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

4. I am in a congressional district that is targeted by DCCC for flipping

The DCCC has targeted six congressional districts in Texas to flip red to blue. We have a good chance of flipping these districts and defending the two districts that we flipped in 2018 if Biden is the nominee. If Warrren is the nominee, then we can kiss Texas goodbye

That's a lot of electoral votes! And with the right VP pick, he may also bring Georgia and Florida into play.
