8. If he does manage to get the nomination he is the least likely to win in this particular race

Evangelicals and the religious right got their Supreme Court justice. That's all they wanted and that was what motivated them to vote for Trump. Many of them are less likely to vote this time UNLESS they have something that motivates them to. Nothing would motivate them more than trying to keep a gay couple out of the White House. Trump is so good at riling up and stirring up hatred and the prospect of the kind of hatred we would see scares me. I'm all for him being the nominee at any other time, but we can't afford to lose so I really don't want him to be the nominee. It has nothing to do with him and everything to do with American not surviving another Trump term.

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

I don't think that is true. They want a super majority on the supreme court. SweetieD Apr 2019 #9
