2. I respectfully disagree. Going after a few true-believer Trump voters is a lot of wasted energy

for very little return. And I refuse to enrage and fear-monger people to vote my way. Fear-mongering is beneath my dignity. I'm more interested in persuading you new voters and 3rd party voters to vote my way. If by that means a few not-die-hard Trump voters get flipped along the way, that's all well and good. We need to offer positive policy positions for more living wage jobs, affordable education and healthcare, childcare options, secure retirement with dignity, getting corrupt corporate money out of politics. If that means raising taxes on the rich and cutting defense spending, then so be it. Let's tell the truth. Let's be the party of positive truth tellers and not the party of rich bait and switcher con men. Focus more on bread and butter issues for families.
