    That doesn’t matter at all in today’s political climate. Tribalism has taken over and they don’t care if he’s a criminal, Republicans will all vote for him simply because he’s the nominee. The ONLY thing that matters is if the Dems can turn out enough of their people to beat him in the general.

      Wow, that’s a really bad take considering that independents are what wins a candidate the election, since as you say, tribalists are going to vote for their tribe.

      Independents aren’t going to gargle trump’s marbles in the face of overwhelming evidence of his incompetence, open fascism, and disdain for the electoral process, and there aren’t nearly enough brain dead republicans to carry him in the general alone.
