1. Most will still vote for Trump. Some will stay home. Some will skip the top line on the ballot.

Some will cross over, but we generally tend to overestimate the potential there. Haley voters, for example, aren't going to run to Harris en masse as some insist. Some will, certainly.

I think we should focus more on registration and turnout efforts for Democrats, left-leaning independents, and others in the big tent. If anti-Trump Republicans and right-leaning independents hear our message and want to go along for the ride, that works, but I don't think we should spend a lot of time on targeting them specifically.
