Hillary can't attack Johnson. It would prop him up. We can though. We need to argue the case against Johnson as an alternative. How?
1. Be understanding and listen. At least pretend
2. Convince people he can't win. Because he can't!
3. Concede some points. Even if it's a painful concession gets people to see you as reasonable. Stay calm.
4. Know your facts: about the emails, about Benghazi, and every terrible thing Trump would do.
5. Make the case for Hillary as a safe choice. She's not exciting, but I think we should give her a chance. Maybe she will only be average, but she's not dangerous. If in 4 years you think she awful vote for another candidate, but now in this moment we can't risk Trump. We have to be adults and make responsible decisions. It isn't sexy, but... Come on!!!

(31,879 posts)They are Republicans who are voting against Trump - and they are pumped he's on the ballot in all 50 states.
Not a single one I know has ever been a Democratic Party member or leaned left.

(16,399 posts)Quite frankly I wouldn't want them thinking about it too much at that point.

(31,879 posts)GOTV. There are people that need rides to the polls - solid Democratics I can count on to be on my side.
Don't waste time.
Spend your time in an inner city canvassing, finding out how people plan to get to the polls, making sure they are registered.
Don't waste time on former RON PAUL supporters. They can't be changed. The do NOT believe in Government.
People like that are what they are, they are in the minority, and there are people who do believe that need help.
Go to the GA group - I've posted something there. If you know anyone in the Greater Atlanta Area - spend one call getting that man to the polls. He will vote Democratic and you don't have to worry about him turning against you with his Senate, HOR, State Government, town/borough, school board vote.
