23. Well, I hope you stay. I think we should do the 50 State strategy to nudge areas, and States along...

start to turn some red areas (counties) purple, etc.

Its great to hope, but I don't expect a 50 State sweep. Although I do think a few States might be flipped.

I think we should mostly concentrate on the biggest turnouts in Blue States, flip a few Purple States, and a little nudging in Red States.

I'm not sure I'd call it hubris...it's this super heated hope, joy, and optimism; something many people were not feeling too much of -
"Hey, we could fo this!".
