re: #717 HappyWarrior

I think contrary to what Wendell said, they thought he’d lose and then they’d be able to act like he was a stupid freak accident and then they’d nominate some tool like Rubio in 2020 against Clinton.

people did the math: Michael Moore also figured it out. All they had to do was win all the states they took under Romney (no problem with that) and pick up OH, MI, WI and PA.

With those electoral votes, they would not even need Florida.

So they decided it was worth the run…with anyone else, Hillary’s popular vote lead would have led to an EC win.
