(7,142 posts)We need a tough as nails candidate to take on Trump, she fits the bill. Talk about policy is necessary but secondary.

As a back up, vote the deplorable out.

(31,261 posts)Our nominee must match and exceed his rally schedule and our nominee must go everywhere, not just to big cities. One thing that I can promise you, Trump will have three and four rallies per day because he loves the adoration from his evil crowds. We can't have a nominee that does a rally per day for three days and goes home, Trump will portray that person as physically ill and the low rally count will only serve to reenforce his bullshit.

(49,034 posts)Voters willing to vote for a Democrat didn't fall for Trump's bullshit about rallies and health then, and they won't now.
What we need is a candidate who can win an electoral college victory as well as the popular vote.
And BTW, polls show a number of Democrats, especially Biden, leading Trump in head-to-head matchups, without doing rallies.

(31,261 posts)handily. The thing people seem to either forget or simply ignore is that we don't elect a President by the popular vote, if we did, Abraham Lincoln would likely have not become President.
The Electoral College is what counts and HRC lost key states where she did not put much campaign effort into, or my state of Florida where no one from her campaign came to red counties like mine or smaller blue counties.

(6,823 posts)Ask some of the other candidates to be stalking horses for Trump. Trump goes to a rally in Michigan on Tuesday, one of the stalking horses comes in on Wednesday and our nominee comes in on Thursday or the next week. Take all the media off of him by having our folks show up and talk about everything wrong he said in his rally.

(31,261 posts)But with all the people in the field now, we should have plenty of people to shadow Trump this time around. Fortunately pretty much all of those people are loyal democrats who will be willing to work their ass off for our nominee.

(938 posts)When the republicans had a plethora of candidates, every last one of them could take pot-shots at our main candidate, so there was this constant stream of negativity from multiple sources all focused in one direction. Well now it's our turn!

(13,921 posts)It really wouldn't be too hard coordinate having at least three rally's in every location the president visits, before, during and after. At least through the primaries. And I'd decline to vote for any candidate that wouldn't agree to keep on holding rally's as a surrogate post primaries as well.

Blue_true
(31,261 posts)In 2016 no one from Hillary's campaign came to me region of the state, no one. Over a million people and around 300,000 to 400,000 million voters were left uncovered. Trump came to my county and I could see the excitement swell in MAGATS. I was praying that a big name democrat would come to my county or nearby Gainesville, no one did. Interestingly Bernie Sanders came to Gainesville before the Florida primary but made no such effort in the General, he was very popular with a lot of democrats here, but we did not see him or someone like Bill Clinton. Just reliving the whole thing really hurts, especially because Hillary did not lose Florida by that much and President Obama had just won it twice.

(13,921 posts)Bernie went other places, I assume as assigned by the Clinton campaign. But missing Florida seems like a very unfortunate oversight by whoever was in charge of the planning. Too many people assumed Clinton would beat the clown and win easily. We need to not make that mistake again. Any of us.

(31,261 posts)throw all our resources into beating him and completely retaking Congress. We could have a 2006+ cycle in 2020. In 2006 democrats took control of just Congress, but in 2020 we can add the Presidency.

If we let ourselves (continue to) be divided, from within or without, things look a lot rougher.

(12 posts)Words cannot express my utter disgust tonight with Donald Trump and his sub-moronic, bigoted base.
So, I created some memes-- SEND TRUMP BACK TO THE ISLE OF LEWIS.
Not sure how to post memes here, but here are the links.

(58,706 posts)The rallies are highly scripted, and it doesn't take much for a few staffers sprinkled around the crowd to start up a chant like that.
Especially with a rabid fan-base that wants to do that.
So, I'd say it doesn't take a CTnut to think that way.

(3,321 posts)How about Harris & Warren, or Warren & Harris?
Either ticket is worth investing in.
Of course, I will vote for the Democratic nominee - whoever is on the ticket.
This is my dream team, however.
