As related by Stein's tweet:

With Trump gone you’re going to begin to see things change. Because these folks know better. They know this isn’t what they’re supposed to be doing."

The clear implication is that trump is making Republicans do bad things and that just is not true.

Just the 8 yrs of Obama makes that crystal clear.

Political messaging to some mythical center-right Republicans that want to return to the "good 'ole days of principled compromise with our brothers and sisters across the isle" is just that, a myth.

Are there such Republicans? Sure. But I would counter that placating that very small demo will turn off more Democrats than playing that middle is going to get you.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
