If you like a candidate but you don’t vote for them because you don’t think they’ll win nomination, you’re being played. This isn’t Oscar picks. The goal of voting isn’t to guess the winner. It’s to pick the one that best represents you. https://twitter.com/TheStagmania/status/1206265294626398209 …
Disagree. Enthusiasm and unity are separate issues. You need both to win. Kerry and Romney has unity with no enthusiasm, and Hillary had enthusiasm without unity. GW Bush, Obama, and Trump had both.

This obsession with whether a candidate is “viable” or “electable” based on perceptions of how radical they are is misplaced. Obama and Trump weren’t deemed “viable” or “electable” until they were nominated.

In 2016, Republicans had several traditionally “electable” mainstream candidates—Jeb!, Rubio, Kasich. The base wanted a radical—Trump or Cruz. Trump won the general on the strength of a highly energized base (just look at the folks at his rallies).
