Should Clinton team go for landslide or just settle for a win? - Lemon Drop - 10-19-2016
I think that where resources allow they should go for the kill. I want the GOP to get the message that it's not OK to nominate a person like Donald J. Trump. Americans won't have it.

Go for the landslide.
We need to send the rest of the world a message that the American people repudiate the horrific and disgusting views espoused by the right-wing candidate as well as his calls for unconscionable violence.

Nate's crew debated this (I'm guessing you probably read it, but link for others).
I fall in the "maybe make a play for Arizona..and less of a play for Texas" camp.

Winning by a landslide means very little unless it flips the Senate and House, and stays that way through the next redistricting.

The Senate seems likely to flip Democratic.

My thinking is that a landslide would mean many people went out to vote for Clinton, and I'm going to assume they continued on down the ballot while they were there.

I don't believe the process can be worked that precisely. To work to "settle for a win" would be foolhardy.

The GOP wants you to vote for this guy:
"Only days before, video had surfaced of their candidate bragging about his prowess in assaulting women"

I guess it also depends on what you mean by "go for a landslide". If you mean throw money at the airways of pinkish states, HRC probably has enough cash on hand to do that in some of those states.
If you mean, establish a ground game like she has in her firewall states, that's harder to do because it requires volunteer man hours. That is harder to organize 3 weeks out.
If you mean actually have HRC go to Texas and Alaska etc....that doesn't seem like a good use of time.

I am a non-violent person, I will be very happy with just a win. However, in this case, I was looking for the third option of going for his %&#@?# throat!
