What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

No wonder Democrats are losing.
With Republican Senate primaries from West Virginia to Montana promising to pit Trump-inspired insurgents against more mainstream candidates, Democrats are considering ways to step in and wreak some havoc. The idea: Elevate the GOP’s most extreme option in each race, easing Democrats’ path to victory in a range of states tilted against them.

That's just brilliant. Do they not recognize that Trup was the most extreme option in the Republican race for the presidency only a year ago?
[In] Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill’s 2012 campaign against then-GOP Rep. Akin in Missouri,[s]he actively intervened in the Republican primary with ads designed to boost the conservative Akin to the front of the pack. Once he became the nominee, a series of gaffes — led by his “legitimate rape” comment — and hard-line positions unraveled his campaign.
Key word: 2014. Trump said he could grab women by the pussy any time he wanted to. Several women came forward to accuse him of sexual assault. He WON.
It can be a risky endeavor: Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign team was eager to run against Trump, believing him to be a historically weak candidate, so it tried elevating his status during the presidential primary by speaking out against him vocally and frequently for months during his messy primary.
Yes. They were thrilled with her running against Trump. It was just what they wanted.

They deserve to lose.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
