4. It's safe to say we won't be nominating someone who has been vilified for the last 25 years.

We won PA and MI (by a very good margin on average) in 6 of the last 7 presidential elections. We won WI (by a very good margin on average) in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections.

It's not just that Trump is unpopular. His "strongly disapprove" number is around 50%, which is really high (though still 50 percentage points lower than it ought to be).

I like our chances.
