GOP believes it is invincible because it owns the election process for all practical purposes. All they have to do it short phony voting machines in Democratic districts, run off blacks, women, old people, sick people and others on election day. And count the vote THEIR way in red states and some blue states where they have secretaries of state. And then solicit and cooperate with Russian hacks and gin up Fox news.
Then ramp up racial hatred to a frenzy using the Trump strategy. Then lie with ALL their ads.
That is why we have to GOTV on steroids.

If they really believed they were going to retain power, they would tell Kav to go pound sand, and find someone else in a few months.

(65,081 posts)No complacency. The 2016 GE shouldn't have been close enough to steal, hacking or no hacking, voter suppression or no voter suppression. Those who sat it out because "it doesn't really matter" were totally wrong and cannot be that lazy again.
