Probably all correct, but I don’t see it leading to victory.
I don't think Cletus meant a victory for Mittens. I think he meant that Mitt might take votes away from Trump which would help the dims.

He would certainly take some, but the problem for him, is that he would lose a whole pile from the left. After all the media did to destroy Mittens, it would be hard to flip to supporting him. Not saying they won’t try, but there would be a lot of good ads to be made calling them out.
