I see such takes as evidence that ideological voters should always root for the candidate in the primary who you think would be least bad, not the one who you think would be easiest to beat -- bc any major party nom has decent shot of becoming prez.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1323302410324946944 …

I mean, the total lack of basic impulse control that was evident by then showed that letting him become president would be a terrible idea.

There were certainly liberals who were rooting for him bc they thought he'd be so easy to beat in a general.

In early 2016 I told my husband that Trump didn't want to be President, he wanted to be Emperor. Little did I know the GOP would allow him to do just that.

Nonsense. You thought he'd be the easiest candidate for Hillary to face and that's why the press gave him so much boosting and free airtime.

I grew up in Atlantic City- if it had ever occurred to me from about age 9 up that this would have been possible, it would have been one of my chief fears. Fortunately my imagination never got there.

There you go, "thinking" again. So not only less bad he is, but he's Orange Man Bad, right? This proves that you're nowhere near your potential, not even close. There are obvious Freudian issues that you must overcome first.
