34. "given the right circumstances"

is the key here... As well as acknowledging that there are circumstances we *can* control vs those we can't.

We can't make the country more liberal right now. We can't make the country less bigoted right now. So know GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES we CAN'T CONTROL, DK CMB and AS can't win.

But GIVEN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES, they could.

It's not a matter of denying reality, it's a matter of changing the framework for the discussion of candidates.

Who is your candidate? What circumstances are required for him to win? What can he do to control those circumstances, if anything?
