But not on the republican voters to provide an electable option. It's always the centrists and lefties who are the dumb ones.
Tell you what, I'm going to open up a fine dining restaurant in Caneyhead. Really good, really expensive food. And when it fails, I'm going to blame the locals for being unsophisticated. After all, this is really good food. Then I'm going to wait a couple of years, reopen in the same place as the same restaurant, and then blame the locals when it fails again. Then when someone with a shred of common sense suggest I start serving hamburgers and chicken fried steak, I'm going to let the restaurant fail and say "the locals should just be smarter and more sophisticated."
As an aside: Trump can be a turd sandwich and also have been a good president (i'd say pretty decent, but close enough). But when the turd sandwich part outweighs the good or decent president part for a majority of the country it becomes a major issue. It cost him the election 4 years ago, and it's a bigger problem today. The only reason he even has a shot is because Biden may be the worst president in history. But hey, let's not change anything, remain unappealing to about 55% of the country, and blame everyone else!
