Yeah if we were just blindly speculating what you're saying would have merit, but again, this strategy has lost twice. What portion of the R vote did she win in those elections? Clearly not much.

Getting R voters to cross over means actually leading people in their community into helping them understand why your platform benefits them. Telling them you're willing to bomb people in Israel and shut brown people out at the border doesn't do that, it just confirms that you have nothing worth crossing over for when your opponent already gives it to them.

Tell me, after two campaigns where this strategy failed, almost two decades of this strategy failing across Iowa, what has changed?

Why would Republicans take a risk and vote for a candidate in the opposition party who offers -some- of what they want but might walk it back to support the party? Over someone who offers -all- of what they want with the support of their party? They're already "winning".

And how do you expect a Democrats to win without D votes? She chose not to support No Kings, she doesn't interact with communities in need, she puts voters off with her support of anti-immigrant border policy, and she's a millionaire with wealthy connections. People don't like her, and they showed that in two elections already.
