4. Ask them

I'm not representative of them - and I can't reach them.

They've been fed a line of bullshit that women like me "took something" from them since I was a junior in college over 20 years ago.

I didn't - I earned it. Often by putting myself as the only woman - black at that - in educated white male places.

What YOU could do is volunteer next summer in OH or MI and work on that messaging as that is who you are most concerned with.

Where I live - in the 6th wealthiest county in America - the white men that voted for Trump are just racists in Porsches with MAGA bumper stickers. They are my enemy. I don't want be "friends" in the 7th with them.

I can focus on the minorities, women and hipsters in my district next year.

I need you to go help Ryan's challenger to flip that seat.
