    1. This Danielle Pletka op ed on why she's more afraid of Biden than Trump has been much dunked on -- expertly & hilariously so by @petridishes & @dandrezner -- but it does help clarify limits Democrat's efforts to win over disaffected Republicans.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/i-cant-stand-trump-but-democrats-may-force-me-to-vote-for-him/2020/09/14/1cf10518-f6c4-11ea-a275-1a2c2d36e1f1_story.html …

        2. The thing is Pletka is very, very right wing. I mean used to work for Jesse Helms. She says she didn't support Trump in 2016 but the fact is she also didn't support Clinton and called herself #NeverHillary that year.pic.twitter.com/MKLmk4ttnn

        3. Obviously Biden has had some success in winning over moderates and disenchanted Republicans, but in 2020 anyone of that stripe who hasn't already jumped ship is not going to. What we're left with is people like Pletka who don't like Trump personally but are like his policies

        4. And in strictly political terms, there's no reason for standard Republicans to vote for Biden. Sure Trump's tweets are embarrassing but he's giving the party everything it wants in terms of policy. Trump is the GOP, the GOP is Trump.

        I legitimately thought it was satire when I first saw it. That’s how bad it is.

        I think pretty much all the disaffected republicans who are going to come over to Biden have done so by now. The race has been static for a while now

        So many Republicans who cannot admit the indecency of their leader versus the decency of the Democratic candidate.

        Hadn't read this until now, and hoo boy... 1. Joe Biden is basically Nelson Rockefeller. Republicans who can't vote for him must want their party to go up in Trumpian flames. 2. She doesn't like Trump but fears Biden because of the Trumpist framing of him. Ergo she's Trumpist.

        No it doesn’t. The article is drivel. There’s no insight. It’s hard to get Republicans to vote for Biden. Everyone already knew that. People blindly vote for “their team.”

        I know 5 year old kids who don’t whine about anything as much as she whined about having to vote for Trump.
