All apologies.

Look, if we continue to say "so-and-so can't win in X-state" as the basis for selecting a standard bearer, we might as well surrender now... Donald Trump - a man unfit to do literally ANYTHING - has twice beaten women with 100X the qualifications. So I reject out of hand the idea that anyone can't win. Anyone CAN win, if they ignite the base and attract the legions of unhappy stepped on people currently getting the shaft.

Experience counts for NOTHING.
Passion and the ability to inspire (even if done by exciting rascist POS's) seems to be the more viable path...
