    In retrospect, the smart play would've been to force Trump to go 3rd party last fall.

        @HeerJeet At any given time, the cost seems unbearable; at any given time, the past cost seems cheap.

        @HeerJeet Smart how? The GOP is unlikely to nominate a candidate close enough to the center to be able to win without Trump's followers.

        @HeerJeet So they might have stopped Trump, but lost the general election. And the GOP clearly favors winning over stopping Trump.

        @HeerJeet True. And Trump may have gotten bored and wandered away from his third-party bid anyway, since he'd have gotten much less coverage

        @HeerJeet GOP thought they could hijack his audience. Turns out they're the ones being hijacked.

        @neilshyminsky @thitchner @hoodedu @jbview There was a small window to force Trump to go 3rd party if GOP mounted full court press.

        @HeerJeet Thinking last fall: 3rd party would have given Hillary the victory.
