MORGAN: But where do you find fault in him, personally?
GUGGENHEIM: I — you know, I don’t. I don’t, frankly.

That is the danger, and someone pointed it out on another thread. Say what you like about the left (I frequently get in trouble for my language doing so!) but they are both enthusiastic and ORGANISED.
One of the texas Freepers posted that (s)he couldn’t even fill PAID positions for the Republican party (sorry, search is glitching on me again or I’d post link and do a courtesy ping.
