He can’t dismiss you as a “loser” and “taker.” It will sink in that some Dems are “winners” and it would not be an embarrassment to go to the other side.

As childish as all of this is, fascists hate to hang with losers. We seek power to do good; they just like power and are deeply uncomfortable backing a just cause if it a losing one. If they smell the loser stench on Trump, this can peel some of his soft support away.
