Only way out is through. The modern Republican Party is dead like the whigs, we’ll see what comes next. My guess is that (if we can avoid authoritarianism/fascism) more of the sane conservatives will partner with Democrats as a more explicit centrist party and progressives shift into their own party if they can develop a better local presence.

I don’t think he’ll lose any die-hards, but continuing this could depress turnout. It will affect the margins of “undecideds” though.

My feeling is that Clinton’s big problem was that she had a low ceiling and low floor because of 20+ years of smears; even though she was definitely qualified, there was just too much generalized negative baggage. I knew many democrats that believed something big would come out because republican muckrakers had spent so many years seeding that field. When Comey decided to break all tradition over nothing it just reinforced that perception.

Harris doesn’t have that, she has a high ceiling for perception. More people have no idea who she is and the more she can be the one to define herself while Trump looks crazier and crazier the better she’ll do. And the debate feeds that unlike Clinton.

Just shows the mute decision was damage control by his campaign not his idea.
