Reality is Republicans have a shrinking base which, as in 2018, gravitates toward coarse, extremist candidates with diminishing appeal to suburban moderates. GOP policy strategy to “do even less” is not attractive to millions of rural voters who want better schools & roads... 2/4

@staceyabrams can be the architect of Georgia’s political transformation if she also forgoes presidential run (which she will), registers hundreds of 1000s of new voters, helps Dem POTUS nominee win Georgia in 2020, and then gets elected governor in a rematch in 2022.
