4. I Really Hope We Can Stop Spending Money Trying To Turn FL Or TX Blue

IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

The Democratic Party needs to invest in places that are competitive, where they have a chance at winning, purple states like AZ & GA.

FL & TX look tantalizingly close, but they are not. We'll throw Millions into races there, and then end up losing by 4-10 points. Perhaps put some money into local races, but leave the Statewide & Federal races alone. The costs far outweigh any potential benefits.
