It's just so bad for our party to listen to this sweet, sweet song of "no need to do anything." Those Obama voters we lost are just gonna come running back to our waiting arms. We don't need to change anything. The MAGA coalition will just collapse, and we'll be there waiting for fate to turn that friendly card. Always worked in the past.
