@aureliano but again I'm trying to emphasize here that Republicans don't actually want to win, really. Trump doesn't really want to win. He's too stupid and lazy to really want to be president, to actually do the job.

He's looking for attention, and we're giving it to him.

He needs to appeal to swing voters? Nah, because winning isn't the point. If the point was winning, then you would be right, but it's not.

He wants to stand up in front of crowds and cosplay this guy everyone likes. And he gets that regardless of winning, in fact he gets more of it if he doesn't win because then he gets to pretend he's such a victim, and he gets more attention from it.

And to repeat, the biggest indication of all of this is that Republicans didn't nominate someone with a better chance of winning. Because so many of them don't actually care about winning.

You can hear this every single day in mainstream conservative media.

Trump needs conservative attention, not popular support or electoral success.
