Well, in regards to attempts to "educate" them anyway. But I don't see a lot of praying, begging and knee bending going on in the direction of any hard core Trump voters in any case by anyone. Another thing I don't see being said by anyone is that we need "educable" Trump voters more than our base black voters. I do however often see it said that we need to win enough Congressional elections to win back the House and Senate from Republicans.

Conor Lamb won his special Congressional Election in PA by 1 or 2%. Trump won that district by about 21%. How do you feel about that Congressional race result and how Lamb went about obtaining it?
