How does this help in suburban districts where they’re most threatened? (Not a rhetorical question.)

it probably doesn't but at current trajectory Republicans also seem likely to underperform in red areas too. Also, a better-engaged GOP electorate hypothetically lifts all boats.

This strategy contemplates a scenario where enthusiasm reduces losses to 20 or less in the House, and actually picks up 2-3 Senate seats. Which, honest to god, is totally possible.

My main argument w/ the theory is that it works where Rs don’t need help, and hurts where they do (House only - works great in Senate.) But Kondik’s counter is intriguing.
