    Yeah that’s fair. I don’t think we should devalue the potential for grassroots movements to achieve results though. The potential for grassroots campaigns to achieve success, particularly in smaller races where a candidate can focus more, is still significant. We just need to remember that we’re up against what is still a large number of voters that simply favor moderate politicians, even if they can’t name a moderate policy position they favor.
