So sure, you could work to win this, you could put all your eggs in one basket, you could blow all your money on a stupid little election, but what if, instead, you decided to lose? Wouldn’t that work out better for you in the long term? And if for some reason it doesn’t go this way, well, that’s a problem for future you, and you don’t even know that person!

The degree of idiocy required by the reader of these columns is monumental. No one wins by losing in partisan politics, and it’s insane to suggest otherwise. Victories can by Pyrrhic, but they’re still victories. And the suggestion that Republicans should ditch the leader of their party, the most beloved figure by their voters and a man currently effectively tied in the presidential race for, you know, reasons, is totally absurd.
