i don't think the portion of voters who would switch from SBS to DJT is substantial enough to "woo", per se. that'd be squeezing blood from a stone, and i think even trump has to know it by now. but if DJT can convince them that HRC is so awful that they can't vote for her, he can reap some benefit, and it's a much easier sell.
