However I am as certain as I can be that we don't need disaffected Republicans or disaffected leftists (if they are really leftists). And if we don't need them we are better off letting their chips fall where they may, than in trying to reach out to those who want only to stab us in the back.

I don't like that assessment, per se. I want to believe we can work with everyone toward the common good but my life experience tells me otherwise. As Sun Tzu said, vanquish your enemies because if you don't they will rally and they will come back to defeat you. In this instance we cannot vanquish them. But we can disable them as much as possible.

Keep the faith. We will win in November. I'm sure of it.
