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...
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.
It'll be Trump.
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.
You'd have to generalize that statement to almost all white American boomers man.
Most of the white American boomers I know are dead.
rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up
He'll be alive
Dude lives on spite and adulation, so long as he can keep getting attention he'll pull a Kissinger and get close to outliving us all.
No one else in the Republican party has any popular support at all
Oh yeah, a competent fascist is definitely an issue.
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.
Well, yeah, the money will flow to whoever is likely to win the Republican primary.
Maybe some exurban McMansion McCain voters will stay home, but I expect the MAGA flock to stick with their deity
