re: #146 Anymouse

We had a Democratic representative in NE-2 for one term. He was not supported, and now he’s out.

Your argument is “well, we haven’t won there in a long time, so let’s not try. How’d that work out for Michigan and Pennsylvania this time?”

Okay, if the Dems want to cede all those electoral votes because it’s too hard, then fine. The party will never get them.

Democrats ridiculed Mr. Trump’s campaign for running a fifty-state strategy in campaigning in advertising and appearances. How’d that work out for him?

And how much of the finite resources that existed for the DNC would have been necessary to flip Nebraska? Not flip a few votes, but turn Nebraska as a whole purple enough to give the 5 EV votes the state has to give to Hillary? And if devoting those resources there meant that she lost (say) Virginia, would it be worth it because you got the warm fuzzies of knowing she’d won your state? Now expand that to every state in the Midwest you believe she could have won if she’d just made the effort, every state she won there was exchanged for a “coastal elite” state. Would it have shifted the election back in her favor?
