What if that awful Democrat was running against Trump?

As Legal Eagle says: It depends. Who is most awful. Again, we're looking at the lesser evil. I'm not talking "less than perfect". I'm talking "truly awful".

I did say "pick someone". If you don't like Christie, how about Haley? I don't like her either, but I would take her in a heartbeat over a Dem Trump. What was the name of that guy who was just kicked out of Congress? I'd probably take Haley over him, because he was a minor-league Trump (from what I could tell), even if he was a Dem.

I know politics is a team sport. But if your team is putting up genuinely wretched people, then -like the Lincoln Project- you have to try to stop them. Always your objective should be what's best for the country, and that isn't always your team's leader. If it were a lesser evil, I would get it. McConnell is a piece of work, but I would understand Reps rallying behind him if he were to run. Just not Trump. He'll do more damage than good (or the Rep's idea of "good"). Ultimately he doesn't care what the party is, if he decides someone is "disloyal". He'll attack and try to destroy them.
