Related: About this forumI don't give a damn if Hillary only wins by 6 million votes or 500. Just win.
A win is a win. I hope she wins by a large margin because that means the house was taken back.

(28,313 posts)unfortunately, and no amount of wishing makes it so. I've seen that movie too many times.
Red states have red voters by definition, so you do not get "a lot" behind a Dem in a red state. You get a candidate who survives elections by the skin of their teeth. Those are the wrong places to primary incumbent Dems. You support them and instead primary moderate Dems in progressive states to move the party left, otherwise you are cutting your nose to spite your face because you lose seats when you tear apart support for Democrats in red states.
