This state is too gerrymandered to flip the legislature without an absolutely massive sea change of voter sentiment, turnout alone isn't enough. It has to be turnout in a midterm election to flip the a state-wide seat and be that first crack in the wall. We came damn close with Beto in 2018, and now were up against a nominee so unpopular he was impeached by his own party. Get out and vote this year!
Have you noticed Trump's power move of angling his handshake up, to force the other party to aim their hand downwards in an uncomfortable way? It's such a prick move.
