      Yeah, I've been critical of parts of @jwpetersNYT's latest piece but this is a genuinely valuable take-away.https://twitter.com/MarkHarrisNYC/status/1010608148259000320 …

      People are going to hate this piece but the takeaway is valuable: Democrats can win only by mobilizing our side, including people who don't often vote in midterms. Trying to shame or convert Trump supporters is a dead end, and not necessary. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/23/us/politics/republican-voters-trump.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news …

      How do you square this with what has happened in four dozen races this cycle, in which a lot of persuadable voters have voted Democratic?

      I'd make a distinction between marginal Republican voters (who exist!) and the hardcore Trump supporters Peters profiled.

          Right, but Dems aren't winning by "only mobilizing our side." It's that *and* winning a lot of persuadable swing voters alienated by Trump (as opposed to hardcore Trumpists). See these @JessicaPost comments. She explained the dynamic well:https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/02/21/a-blue-wave-how-trump-is-helping-democrats-win-in-unlikely-places/ …

          That's also an argument to never interview a hardcore Trump supporter again, given they won't say anything new.

          You don't win in PA-18 and in dozens of state leg districts carried by Trump by "only mobilizing our side."

          As a casual Twitter follower who is reading this exchange while eating a turkey sandwich, I have to say @HeerJeet's explanation doesn't make any sense to me. But yes, Democrats are probably screwed in districts that are comprised 100% of hardcore Trump supporters.
