1. This is a gimme for Dems running for seats: Is your Congressperson/Senator in your area campaigning?

Or are they in Dallas Texas stroking Trump's ego?

Repeat over and over again until you make being in Dallas Texas a byword for everything people perceive as wrong about the country.

There haven't been "midterm conventions" before because they are unnecessary: reps and Senators are selected locally, and there's no platform to adopt. There are no delegates because nobody is deciding anything, even ritually. There is no reason for a convention other than to glorify Trump.

So, is your rep or Senator in your district or state campaigning, or are they in Dallas Texas glorifying Trump?
