(13,421 posts)23. At this point it's ALL hands on deck in this country.
Convention is about rousing support for the nominee. Yes, appeal to the base--firm it up--but raise support for the candidate from the middle ground persuadable voters too. The fundamental plank in the platform, IMO, is get that orange anus out of the Whitehouse. Getting the Whitehouse fumigated is gonna take votes from people that aren't always allies on every issue, and accepting that is fundamental to success in any election of this magnitude. Anything else beyond the issue of firing Donnie can be hashed out later.
Take the republican help this year!

Of course. We're not marrying them. We're dating them... a one-night-stand (so to speak).
