Maybe it wasn’t that then. I don’t say I support it but I’m guessing they were thinking (old school) that if they voted for someone who of course they don’t like but is actually a somewhat serious candidate that the Republicans would respond by nominating more like that.
But again, that kind of thinking is still going on in the Dem party and obviously outdated. One would think they’d learn that there is no give and take with this batch of Republicans. At all.
If progressives were numerous enough that wouldn’t matter.
Somehow the magats got their psychos in power over a number of years. Progressives don’t.
