GOP has huge fissure down the middle. Candidates in purple states are damned if they do (go Trump) & damned if they don't. Watch Alabama in December. Moore (Trump 2.0) will likely carry red state handily. Not so, VA.

This is just awful political analysis
-
I don't get it. Sometimes he is just so far outside the realm of sound logic that it's hard to explain. Clinton was popular. Trump is extremely unpopular. That alone destroys his point.
-
You’re viewing it through today’s lense. There was a real fear that Bill Clinton would be toxic. That’s why Gore wouldn’t campaign with him.
-
I remember. That was the fear, but in hindsight it became an unsound theory. In this case it's obvious Trump was a huge anchor. They got waxed across the country. Gore won the popular vote, just to keep things in perspective.

Not even close. Clinton had baggage but was still popular. Trump has baggage and isn't popular.

You win!

I would argue there are no benefits when there is so much baggage; therefore, Ed Gillespie, et al. need to campaign (if not with Trump) on a new vision that adheres to positive principles.

Except Gore would have won. Gillespie would have gotten beaten even more badly.

night and day. Clinton job approval in 2000: 55-63%.

He embraced bigotry. That sunk him.

Would have liked to see him run completely away from
@realDonaldTrump and evaluate the result. That would test the true drag.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I hear ya. But I think he got as much of the bennies to be gotten (Trump tweets did that) without getting too close (EG did well w/ indies). It's just not a good time to have an R next to your name.

Disagree; shows how small T's base is. The loons will vote for him no matter what. Sane people who voted for him last yr were hoping he'd actually "drain the swamp"& get meaningful things done, which of course he hasn't & won't. No benefit to hitching your star to him.

The comparison doesn’t quite work because Clinton was far more popular than Trump is. Sorry campaigning with a guy with 37% approval is not the ticket to success.

Apt analogy. Though the magnitude is different due to Trump's far larger unpopularity.

Not clear campaigning with either Trump of Clinton would not have been even *more* of a negative-- campaigning with either might turn off more marginal voters than it gained.
