And you think a cultural icon being threatened with extermination by Willard won't resonate better than that? Do you honestly think young voters who grew up with Sesame Street care more about Big Bird or about Medicare and Social Security? A "loser topic" to you is an important one to others.

Ignoring social media is something I hope all repubs are doing. Their ignorance works for us.
