are these guys changing any minds? Do MAGAts see them? I wonder if they're not singing to the choir almost all the time. GOTV and fighting voter suppression may be far more productive. Door-to-door. Click bait just isn't the same.

This isn’t about converting the MAGAts. This is about the third of the country who consider themselves independents and whose votes are up for grabs. I suspect there is an incredibly small number of people who are undecided at this point in the cycle but every vote counts.

November is going to be a referendum on Trump. I like Joe Biden and I sincerely hope he wins, but I think the vast majority will be voting for Trump or against Trump. And I think Joe Biden will be seen as good enough by independents and moderate Republicans to allow them to vote against Trump.

with all the independants once Trump is gone and the New Republican Party is created. I think they are there to save old republicanism. So i am of two minds when i see the tweets.
