"Rurals are important for turning the house and senate blue."

My ground report from rural Ohio... a supposed "battleground" state:

- Many, many races were never filled despite ODP stating every seat would have a candidate
- Activity levels in rural areas .... no detectable difference other than Indivisible rallies
- Quote from a Democratic chair in rural county: "It will take decades to rebuilt the Democratic party here." (WTF!)
- Ramaswampy and Husted ads are all over the place (TV, streaming, online etc.)
- Money infusions .... no detectable difference other than pocket change from Indivisible programs for snacks and water.
- Where is activity? Same old, same old. Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, Akron.

Pitiful.

It is not Trump's fascist oppression that is de-engerizing. It is the DP strategy of benign neglect. It is impossible for Republicons to lose when they are the only ones on the field in the game.
