22. Yes. I'm seeing a trend here that I hope expands.

As Trump's support slips in many areas, he's endorsing candidates who can be beaten, even in some red states and districts. I think we all need to pay close attention and turn to support Democrats who normally could not win. We could do much better than expected in many places if we focus on that, I believe.

Let's all pay close attention to this growing phenomenon.

For example: Demuth's chances now in the Governor's race in MN are slim to none. She may not even get the GOP endorsement. If Trump endorses the other Republican, Amy will win in a huge landslide. She was always going to win, but Demuth poisoned her own race at the end of the session.
