I mean, when push comes to shove, enough bodies in swing states are going to hold their nose and vote for Biden just because of the threat of Trump to keep the race close.

I do wonder if enough Republican voters will stay at home because they’re kinda tired of Trump and his shenanigans or will they embrace their Id and vote Trump for no other reasons than to make the libs cry…

Those mythical principled Republicans who will refuse to vote Trump are outnumbered by orders of magnitude by the MAGA faithful who will ONLY vote for Trump.

But that just makes the “principled Republicans” the spoiler for that side of the ticket… It’ll be the die hard Trump voters who will be out on TikTok or YouTube trying to shame the rest of the conservative voter base into voting for Trump.

It’s about which of the two contingents the GOP brass will find more valuable. As much as many of the old guard Republicans loathe Trump as a person, they value winning above all else. Donor money is already flowing out of the other candidates and back to Trump as they realize he is their best chance at securing the White House.

Maybe some exurban McMansion McCain voters will stay home, but I expect the MAGA flock to stick with their deity

What if it isn’t Trump? That is actually my biggest concern. Most of the Republican party agenda is just as bad as Trump would do, they are just smart enough to not say the quiet parts out loud.

No one else in the Republican party has any popular support at all

Trump might not even be alive. The guy lives on trash food and thinks exercise is unhealthy. It’s a statistical fluke that he’s lived this long.

For real, how can you be “part of a coalition” if no-one from that coalition has tried to reach out or helped you?

Democrats lazily characterize Republicans as the party for rich white males, therefore everyone else should come to their tent by default. As if there is any fundamental difference between the two beyond quibbling over percentages on a budget review.

We keep doing things that alienate our voters, so why do they keep not voting for us!?
