Yes that would help.
There will likely never be a 49 state win again.
But the low 40s? That’s possible still.
I think.
I just want a win. Even if it’s some sort of weird tie breaker scenario. Just win. There’s going to be violence either way. I’d rather our side be in control of the firepower that matters. Plus, the wailing and gnashing of teeth will be like the music of the world’s tiniest violin.
