Here’s the deal. Trump turns off more voters than he turns on. Some of the ones he turns on, they are in it for the bigotry. They want blacks to get to the back of the bus, women to get back to the kitchen and gays to go back in the closet.
Middle of the road voters who could go either way do NOT support those bigoted views. They just aren’t tuned in/informed enough to recognize that project 2025 is aiming to do just that. The Republican Party has been commandeered by its darkest fringe, and you can see how that fringe are revealing themselves in response to having to deal with a black and female opponent who is young, an excellent communicator and unafraid of their hate. Just by being her genuine self, she disproves all of the racist and sexist stereotypes that many Republicans are reacting to.
Put Pete on the ticket, he’s even better at disproving homophobic stereotypes just by being who he naturally is. Make them deal with having a black female Presidential candidate AND a gay vice Presidential candidate. The racist, sexist and homophobic jeering from the right will drive normal middle of the road voters straight to the Dems.
Just get the secret service functional first.
