the moral outrage I get in response to this argument isn't super-pleasant, but defeating Trump in a landslide is a moral imperative.

it has this strategic problem: if LP + GOP > Dems, people will be persuaded that Trump was just a bad nom and try again.
-
right. It'll only be a victory if it pulls the GOP away trumpism, towards a socially liberal platform, or at least factual reality.
