Deal-making, trading support for votes or positions or clearing out "lanes" in future elections for favored allies of delegates. Bitter accusations of racism, sexism, classism, elitism - vile rhetoric and mudslinging. True believers who think that their issue (climate change, Palestine, voting rights, what have you) is too important to be bound by the rules, and engage in disruptive and/or disgusting behavior that normies will recoil from. Where the only respite from the unpleasantness could be the tedium of endless delegate polling as the body tries to grind down from potentially a score of candidates to get to a nominee.

An entire building full of political flacks, hacks, and diehard partisans locked in a room screaming all the quiet parts out loud to each other in a naked free-for-all seeking power within the party and the country - not in a smoke-filled back room, but out in the open where everyone's got a cell phone and a social media account.


That would be almost worth seeing if the upshot in the end weren't that Trump is voted in. OK, taking everything into account, who do we think could pull off knocking off Trump?

Harris
Kinzinger
Newsom
Cheny
Manchin
Michelle O.

More names and then we run a poll?
