re: #27 Targetpractice

I cannot ever remember a presidential candidate actively advertising for a spoiler candidate. There have been cases in the past of candidates offering opinions about third party candidates or even being asked to respond to something they said/did, but I cannot ever remember an instance in my 20+ years of voting when one party’s candidate actually argued aloud for the other party’s voters to support a third party candidate over their own party’s.

“presidential candidate” is the wrong framing
anything he does in that context is the wrong framing
campaigning is merely the vehicle/technique/con he chose at this moment

he’s a grifter
every move is intended to make him money
he’s indicted
every move is intended to keep him out of jail

its not about politics or policy or America or democracy, or…
