We should now be prepared to see Powerliners as well as Ringsiders… making largely laughable arguments (by assuming for example without evidence, that 100% of “undecideds” will break for Tangerine) to convince GOP Normies to nominate the Orange-atan.
They now reason (perhaps correctly) he has a one-in-20 chance of being elected, while a GOP nomination of Haley or DeSantis means… a 1-in-1,000 chance. This is true, because Trump certainly runs third party if he’s NOT the GOP nominee… and guarantees a Democrat keeps the White House in 2024-28.
These GOP cynics would rather burn the Constitution, than lose another election. They’d rather take a 1 in 20 bet, than a sure loss.
Me? I welcome their defeatist calculus.
For example, if just a majority of the undecideds in Virginia break for Mr. Biden, he will expand his margin of victory over Trump (2020 v. 2024)… but he will also win by 12 points. Trump needs 100% of undecideds there, just to… STILL lose by 1%.
This is how dire the GOP map has (already) become (due to running a provable felon at the top of the ticket) — even eleven months out.
Hilarious! Bring it on, boys.
Out.
