Sam, you and I are both in blue states—CT and DE.

We still fight the good fight here in DE every election cycle.

A Republican has not won a statewide Federal office here in over 20 years.

The overwhelmingly large north population of libs in the Wilmington area totally outweighs we conservatives in the south.

But we don’t give up.

And we certainly will not give up this year, when it is for all the marbles.

That's exactly it. Always get out to vote and never give up the hope.

I'm old enough to remember when the South was a "guaranteed lock" for the Democrats. There were some areas of the South that hadn't elected a Republican ever - going back to the Civil War.

So things can and do change!

I like the fact that Donald Trump is making inroads for the Republicans in areas they hadn't contested in the past. When Donald Trump came to Fairfield, CT a couple of weeks ago, I just had to be there. How could I not be? Thousands of others joined me. So maybe Donald Trump does carry Connecticut! I'm holding out hope and I'm not sitting home with a defeatist attitude.
