    And I have zero faith in the DNC and people running Joe’s campaign to focus on the right states to win the electoral college.

    That’s why I put North Carolina in the watch list. There are folks out there who think it’s winnable a) because they assume the Nikki Haley vote will flip to Biden, and b) because the Republicans just picked a batshit CRAZY candidate for Governor on Super Tuesday.

    We really need to see new polling there.

    As of 2/29 to 3/3 it’s either Trump +12 or +14, but some folks are still saying Biden can win.

    Doubt.

      If Biden moves far enough right to grab a handful of Haley voters… Hed lose 10x the votes he gains.

      The most we should try to get republicans to do is abstain, the payoff for courting Republican votes has never been worth it.

      Biden is definitely trying to get Haley voters, it’s just a god awful strategy

          I saw a Jordan Klepper clip yesterday where he talked to Haley voters…

          Most said Trump was terrible, that 1/6 was a violent insurrection, but that they’d still have to “pick the lesser of two evils” and vote trump because they’d never vote Democrat.

          It just doesn’t make any sense.

          Neither Haley voters or Biden’s campaign team. None of what they’re doing makes sense.
