Candidates need to pay the most attention to those who pay little attention to politics.

Just heard on the Smirconish radio show a pollster who does in-person polling. He was speaking about results in Ohio, Mich. & Iowa. The majority of people in those States are much more interested on what Washington is doing for THEM NOW than they are in impeachment. They're not opposed to the hearings but more interested in what Congress is doing on their job.s They were all shown pics of all the candidates. Most were unfamiliar with who they were.

The pollsters takeaway was that TO WIN the candidate must concentrate on the people who DON'T pay a lot of attention to politics.

It doesn't matter how witty, articulate, or devastating they are regarding this administration, what are they going to do, how are they going to be able to do it, and how/what does that do to benefit the voter in question.

What is the candidate doing that will increase *MY* wealth, health, and sense of security? The one that answers that the best, wins.
