That's my point, they won't get funded. Dem strat seems to be national message, but that's wrong, need to do what GOP does, tailor it to area.
I mean Kentucky used to be blue maybe a decade ago on the state level--a conservative blue, but still better than red. Kansas is a **** hole b/c of brownback. They can retake the midwest, and that's where I'd hammer, but it requires a message that isn't from say schumer/clinton's/pelosi's/perez's of the democratic realm. I think they got a good shot at texas too if they send out a pro gun no wall message (and obv drop the whole abortion topic for them, if that's the main national dem message, that's not gonna fly in TX), there's a lot of voters in TX that don't want the wall. Give em all 3 and dems have a very doable shot at winning there.
They will not do this, the $$$ does not care. Currently bernie is hanging around with perez using him for his own campaign donations probably. I don't trust perez, seems like a $$$ guy not a let's get votes guy. It's a shame, too many dems still on teh $$$ train rather than the voters. They could seriously crush the house in 18 if they went with door #2 rather than the pile of cash one. I get it, hard to turn down pile of cash but ffs.
Anyway, Illinois has started to turn deep blue. Some towns that never vote D have been flipped b/c lol trump. We'll see if that's a trend nationwide.
