Two groups that I have given up on are the hardcore Trumpers and the "must win my vote" types that vote for socalled progressive third partiers. If they haven't woke up by now, to hell with them.

The people that we need to talk to are the ones that voted for Obama twice, but sat home in 2016. We need to get and keep them actively voting, I think Trump with his insanity is helping our efforts there.
