    Because Trump is such an existential threat.

    If a serial killer was for sure coming to your house to kill your family, would you open the door for Barney Fife just because you think “well I won’t open the door for the serial killer”?

    Or would you maybe ask the police HQ to send a more competent opposition to the serial killer rather than just welcoming Barney Fife with open arms, because “after all, he’s not the serial killer that’s on his way.”

    There’s 5 months before the serial killer shows up. That’s more than double how long the entire election cycle for other countries takes.

    Plenty of time for HQ to send actual backup, instead of who was already in the neighborhood and offers very little protection against the killer.

      I agree with you in that regard. But they’re probably not going to send anyone except Barney. We can’t control the DNC. Short of revolt, all we can do is write the DNC and our senators, and protest. In the end they’re the ones making the choice.
