Get out of here!

BTW: Not directed toward the poster. It's just an expression.

I don't vote for Republicans or Republican-lights and I don't think think there are enough Democrats to support him. But what do I know? I didn't think DJT would beat Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris.

He would never get the Democratic nomination, which is fortunate because I could not possibly vote for someone who is a republican in every sense of the word except what it says next to his name.

He can't win... and it means that he isn't running for reelection in PA.

Getting out of the PA primary dramatically improves our chances of holding (or taking - depending on your perspective) that seat.

Similar strategy in 2020 to split the democratic vote. (Yeezy running on "The Birthday Party" platform.)
