    What’s kind of amusing is that everyone has internalized the lesson from Donald Trump where, when you’re confronted with a massive failure in PR or policy, you double down. What they fail to internalize is that there’s a small handful of people that approach works for. Trump is one. Musk is one, but reality might be catching up with him.

    Ron, who started with 35% support and is now down 2/3 to about 12% is locked in a losing battle for a very distant second place. Everything he’s done has been wrong. I am struggling to remember a worse mainstream political campaign. I’m cutting out the obvious also-rans because they lacked the funding, coverage, or initial support and were running from the beginning mostly as a grift.

    Can anyone think of someone worse who wasn’t fringe?
