8. 52.8-44 is not closer than 53.1-45.4

In absolute figures, it was even larger. 2018 was a ~20k vote loss, while 2020 was ~30k.

Maybe if we could get Trump to campaign for the republican?

Either way... we'll have to draw better candidates than the three listed. They seem like fine people, but not significant names. Then we have to pare the list down so that we don't knock each other out in the jungle-ish primary.

That's not "an easy flip"
