I’m going to keep pointing this out until it becomes a part of the narrative.
The strategy of prominent Republicans flipping to vote for Harris is specifically designed to help Republicans win Congress.
If Republican voters are demoralized by the prospect of Trump, a lot are going to just stay home and not vote at all. That would lead to a Democratic electoral sweep.
Cheney, George Will and other Republican ghouls’ best option to avoid this is to give permission to their voting base to toss their Presidential vote to Harris, but also get them into the polls so they can be reliable Republican voters down the ticket and try to keep the House and take the Senate.
FFS, quit giving the enemy oxygen.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck. You are right.
He's not right. Do you really think people like the Lincoln Project and George Conway are motivated by bizzarro shit??? This theory of "I'm endorsing Harris to magically help Republicans" is asinine. It is Dems trying to outsmart themselves by thinking up bizzaro convoluted shit.
That’s not what he is saying. George Will isn’t trying to help Trump and the MAGAts, he wants to hurt them actually.
However, that doesn’t mean he wants AOC leading a committee in congress.
He doesn’t want Elizabeth Warren influencing policy.
If Republicans that are sympathetic to Lincoln Project or Bullwark get discouraged and stay home, all the down ballot Republicans will be destroyed.
The Lincoln Project is telling people to vote Dem for congress too.
