re: #719 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

they did the math: with trump they had that 30% rabid base tied up, they just needed to convince 20% more or at least convince enough people to vote third party or not vote at all

You’re ignoring that Trump won due to a freak accident. Trump only won because he got enough votes in the right places. You’re giving them way way too much credit and ignoring that going into November of two years ago, the GOP was going to be eager to distance themselves from his mess.
