      May be merit in spending to lock down FL, PA, other battlegrounds. No reason to spend on states HRC only wins if she has 270 EC votes anywayhttps://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/787809095948664832 …

      Why is it a tough call? Using resources on House/Senate clearly better use of marginal $ than running up EC score https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/787796943086948352 …

      I think there's some value to American democracy to not just defeating Trump but burying him in a large landslide.

          the Dem Congress is less likely than EC landslide. No 3rd parties downballot.

          Some. But if she buries him in an electoral landslide but still faces a GOP run House AND Senate? Pointless.

          conversely, I'm concerned that there is dishonor in not doing so.

          On the other hand, such a huge loss could be interpreted as a sign of a much larger conspiracy against Trump.

          Yes, absolutely. There are many unstable mountainsides in CA suited to the purpose.

          Lots of ways to measure a landslide. EC total is just one. Downballot damage is another, and more painful to trump enablers.

          Fair enough. I agree that downballot victories would be a real boon.
