If you have to do everything to do by the numbers to lose the general election, Trump has done it.I don't think even the DNC is stupid enough to sabotage the upcoming presidency this badly (although looking at the DNC, I admit I could be wrong). There are Trumpite whackjobs already vowing to resort to violence, to "take their country back," if Clinton is elected. Even if there were a complete landslide for Clinton, these crazies would likely regard that as proof that Democrats stole the election. I am NOT looking forward to the next several years. The USA is likely to be a very self-destructive place unless an attack from outside is able to unite us — and I'm not at all sure even that will be enough....
If you want to give the Democrats a working majority in the House and Senate, scaring the electorate into giving one party a mandate to govern is the best thing. Because the GOP has shown no interest in governing since 2010. Ole snapping turtle had vowed that Obama is going to be a 1 term president. That failed. So it became, "No working with the administration until we elect one of our own into the White House." Well, it looks like the current GOP nominee is not going to get it. So it's back to the previous line. "No working with the administration until we elect one of our own into the White House." Well, it looks like the current GOP nominee is not going to get it. So it's back to the previous line. "No working with the administration until we elect one of our own into the White House." Be interesting if a Democrat wins in 2020, the GOP will probably implode at that point.
GOP is crying to split the ballot as to check a Clinton II presidency. Check means gridlock. If you like gridlock, by all means do it. But don't cry when the government is paralyzed because one side is not interesting in governing. You might as well give the other side the mandate and see what they do until the mid terms.
