re: #383 Belafon
Except what people were saying was that there are places where being an abortion/immigrant/black supporting party is so toxic that it’s better to stay out of the way.
Then, as Backwoods_Sleuth suggests above, the solution is to fund the grassroots and GOTV efforts behind the scenes. And campaign on a message that resonates with locals in that particular district (which, from what I gather, is exactly what Thompson did - running against Brownback’s craptastic economic policies as opposed to trump’s personality)
