"Let them win this election so we can win the next one" is absolutely desperate insane thinking even if you're only thinking of the election as a game "Easiest way to get possession of the ball back is just let them score this touchdown"

And the only reason the let-em-score strategy comes into play is if the clock is under 2 minutes . . . Surely [we hope] those proposing election as a game don't actually want to add the doomsday / hard time limit aspect to their theory.
