        Of course and right now, the middle ground that decides each election is getting hit with a shaky economy. - Will Hunting Oct 1, 19:09 1
        
        Also, I’m not worried about TN or the other ruby reds. There’s no hope there. I’m looking at Virginia or Wisconsin on Michigan or Pa - Will Hunting Oct 1, 19:11
        
        No, they just prioritize their interests differently than you do. -- nm - Ender Oct 1, 18:39 1
