Most of these incumbents are practically unopposed in primaries. It is rare to beat one in a primary.
That’s because half of our voters talk a lot but do little. In order to light a fire under our voters to turn out & affect change, you have to have a positive attitude & believe in yourself & see winning as inevitable. You also have to be willing to join a coalition with people that won’t always agree with you, that you don’t always like so much & that aren’t ideal. As much as anything, you need to be able to hone your message for election time. I’m happily voting for Trump a 3rd time, but any critique of that’s made in regards to the campaign is met with an army of insults & suspicion 🤔
