23. 40% of republicans won't vote for anyone except ...

… Тяцмp. Probably 20% of the rest won’t vote for Тяцмp. Those are very bad numbers for them. It means Тяцмp is the only one who can win the primary, but also means it’s unlikely any of them can win the general.

I don’t doubt that they have something up their sleeve, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how they can hope to manage this mess they’ve gotten themselves into. They need nearly 100% Republican turnout to have any hope of beating Biden. I don’t see any way they can get there.
