(14,708 posts)One moment they are claiming the voters will punish them if they don't get the nomination through. The next, they are saying voters will punish dems.
Both statements can't be true. If their voters punish them, they aren't punishing dems. Besides, the voters who would be pissed off by his nom failing would NEVER vote for a dem anyway.
Will some gop voters turn out who would have stayed home? We have to assume so and get even more people on our side out.
But if we are smart, we will get them angry at the gop itself, and encourage them to punish republican candidates. That, with an aggressive gotv effort on our side, sounds like fun.
But one thing is certain, you just know the dirty trick squads are looking for republican woman who will be willing to lie about something a dem they went to high school with did something criminal. Be on guard. It is coming. They have money and a lack of ethics. A dangerous combuination.
