26. Nice sterile argument

But to bring it back home, that poor guy who voted Dem his entire life as did his parents, is now walking away from the party and we are loosing votes. His industry did not die in his eyes, it was legislated away by the Dems presently in power. Thats what needs to be addressed with him. Rehashing Repub/Dem battles does nothing or will bring his vote back to us.

Its bad leadership in my eyes. Or maybe a concious decision to move away from these voters in order to gain others? No way to tell. But we will see if it works on November 8.

I have a bad feeling about this............
