      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.

          It's not so much his "policies" that they like as his primal scream disposition towards the boogeymen of "the Left" that they like.

          I argue he didn’t win over anyone at all. There are people who couldn’t keep up the act, and then there are all the rest. Aside: I am dreading the inevitable “We’ve returned to bipartisanship! Tip ‘n Ronnie! Tip ‘n Ronnie!” that kicks in 12 mins after a Biden win.

          Well said, Jeet! It's the myth of the disaffected Republican. Biden's going to lose because liberal media is too focused on attracting a non-existent voter.

          What’s left of the GOP has gone full cult. No sense in trying to get them on board. Focus on getting out the vote.

          isn’t more that people like Pletka like Trump, like his policies, but just want to be seen as just sufficiently Trump-skeptical to keep getting offers to write columns like that one

          They are, you are, the problem. This is not abstract. Trump is not good for the United States.
