Reply #32: I do think it will be the responsibility of the nominee

[bigtree]

to reach out beyond his own rhetoric and positions and adopt the concerns of those he would have vote for him.

Understanding that a nominee may not initially hold or recognize your views, will you be receptive to an adoption of your positions, a preelection conversion? You won't scorn him for that will you, if that occurs?

I fully expect the eventual nominee to seek to broaden his base of support. I think that your insistence and backbone will be required more than ever if the nominee decides to gravitate to far away from left of center in that broadening; not a heckling type of advocacy, but an instructive one.

Good for you!
