Republicans are going to have a hard time if Democrats keep up with the type of machine politics described in this article. Republicans are terrified of the type of voter they would pick up with that kind of machine - white, working class, no college degree - the Forgotten Man that pushed Trump over the finish line in 2016. The GOP's problem is that they want to be the party of neoliberalism, mass immigration, and neocon wars, none of which are appealing to this type of voter.

I have this argument frequently: I don't want to vote for someone who only knows how to lose gracefully, I want to vote for someone who wants to WIN.
