When we were assured of a Clinton landslide. Let's be sure to repeat it on this equally critical election.

People need to know their voter is essential. The only way to send that message it to stop airing then that we will (or won't) win. The message needs to be that the election hangs in the balance - if they don't vote, we will lose, but if they do, we will win. People find excuses not to vote when they don't believe their vote matters, and telling them the election is in the bag (for either side) sends precisely that message.
