The more the Election is turned into nothing but a Dump Wynn Vote, the harder it will be for Doug or Andrea to win. Because they'll really be preaching to their own small, and almost equal-sized choirs, and they'll likely not attract many new members. If that's all their campaigns amount to watch Kathleen finish with the largest seat count, even if it isn't a majority.
What they both have to do is turn that Dump'er energy into 'I'm the Better Replacement' you other folks have been looking for. I don't think Dougie's got it in him, and the baggage his choir admired just turns off folks like me. Whether Andrea can do it remains to be seen.
The 600 pound gorilla under this next bed, like in Trump v. Clinton, and the win Dougie just finagled is the extent to which 'thoughtful, rational' votes for the only guy in the race would never ever go to a woman anyway.
