I said “if” they had any sense. I don’t think anyone but Trump has a


prayer. What’s frustrating is, according to the last poll I saw, slightly more than half of Republicans prefer one of the others. We need ranked choice voting. I don’t imagine too many people who don’t want Trump again would pick him as their second choice.

So much of how we do things allows for undemocratic outcomes. Pluralities, not majorities, win elections. The electoral college. The senate structure - 2 per state regardless of population - and the filibuster.
