Stop debating the Republican leaders. It is a waste of time and effort.
Instead, begin to address Republican voters. Ask them to take a look at what their Party is doing to this country. Try and educate the Republican voter instead of swapping talking points with the Republican leaders, such as Mitch McConnell and John Boehner.
We need to realize that the average Republican voter is not the same as their leadership in Washington. There are some that have bought in with the NRA gun crowd and the Tea Party propaganda, but there are some that are very concerned about our country and the direction their Party is going. Those are the Republicans that we need to address.
I refuse to believe that the entire Republican Party has jumped the shark. Even if they don't vote for the Democratic candidate, they don't have to vote for the same anti-government crowd that is doing so much damage to our country.
What's to lose?

She got real quiet after that.
