It's hard to gerrymander a presidential election.

 

And I"m not so sure I go with the theory that if someone like Ted Cruz, for instance, is nominated voters will come streaming down from the mountains, come flowing out of trailer parks, and wheeling out of retirement centers to vote Republican.

 

Better to find a candidate who people feel is for something and gives them reason to care about voting. Running against Obama/Clinton will only get you so far (but is great for fundraising.)
