We won't change their minds, so we need to GOTV

Very enlightening article about the minds and lives of Trump voters in rural PA. As much as I'd love it if we can win them back, it doesn't seem likely, so we need to focus on those on the fence, and making sure we get asses out the door and in the booth.

Those on the fence, but voted for Trump, are the obvious target of our efforts, but we shouldn't stop there.

Both strategies, GOTV and recruitment, are really necessary.

Historically, we've been doing both for a long time. Both efforts are difficult.
