Yes, they were the margin if you want to look at it that way.
But, it’s equally true that the Republicans who didn’t vote were the margin, or the folks who voted third party were the margin, or Hispanics were the margin....
Bottom line, they apparently beat us with a better ground game. But I’m appalled that our turnout wasn’t better.
You are absolutely correct. Any one of those things could have been the margin. So you work to minimize the effect of any of them.
Just one of those things going right would have done it for us. So yes, those guys cost us a victory. Like a chain of events in a plane crash, any person doing their job right could have stopped the crash.
Hispanics, 3rd party, stay at home purists,,all are hard to do much about. BUt these guys just had to not say idiotic things about rape.
