      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.

          The trade stuff is definitely not giving standard Republicans what they want.

          Not ever sure about that. The NAFTA amendment was minor & lots of big business types have soured on China & wanted gov't to take a harder line. This precedes Trump.

          No reason except the collapse of the domestic economy, increasing eruptions of violence among gun-toting self-styled vigilantes, & hellworld fires, droughts & storms.

          I guess embarrassing is one way to think about racism and xenophobia, but it's all good.

          In strictly political terms, if standard Republicans actually care about the rule of law in our country, then they have every incentive to vote for Joe Biden. Further, do standard Republicans actually support a president cowering before Russia, even as it is targeting our troops?

          I'm confused by your thesis that Trump gives the GOP everything it wants in policy. They want trade protectionism? To absolutely explode deficits? Or do they just want whatever Trump wants? If so, then this is just circular logic, and they have no real policy preferences.

          Exploding the deficit has been a GOP preference since at least the 80s

          The fact that she is going to vote for Trump is not surprising. What is annoying about her column is that her argument boils down to: "The devil made me do it." It's cowardly of her to not admit that her vote is her own.
