    He’s a pair of wraparound sunglasses and a selfie in a truck away from looking like a lot of Trump’s base. That sort of thing helps because we should not assume voters humans are rational.

      Trump’s base is voting for Trump… Going after them even a little is a waste of everyone’s time, energy, and money.

        Yes, but if people adjacent to Trump’s base see themselves on the Democratic ticket they’ll be less likely be alienated from the party.

        I’ve lived in Trump country. For every Red Hat there’s five or six undecided guys who work/drink with them. If they see a guy who could also be pounding Rolling Rocks with them on the Democratic ticket it will help a little bit. And when there’s 10,000 votes between us and fascism we need all the help we can get.

        To repeat: Stop assuming humans will be rational.
