Scarborough on Pelosi

[Jarqui]

103. Obviously, there are some hardcore Republicans that will never vote for a Democrat

And they are a part of the "rest of the country"
But I think we would agree, as they're not likely to ever vote for a Democrat, they are not of much concern to us when it comes to attracting votes because our odds of getting them are so slim.

Hard core Republicans and hard core Democrats are not enough to win the day. Otherwise, the White House, the House and the Senate would not flip back and forth between parties.

Within the "rest of the country", aside from hardcore Republicans, are independents or third party or Democrats who sometimes vote Republican or Republicans who sometimes vote Democrat. Those are the voters we have to concern ourselves with. And they are more likely to be turned off by Mitch McConnell or Nancy Pelosi (or less devoted) because they are not hard core.
