“Trump is the weakest general election candidate we could field”
I remember when all the “experts” said the exact same thing about Ronald Reagan.
The Republican establishment at the time and the “experts” said Reagan was a sure loser who would lose in a landslide and bring about the end of the Republican Party. Reagan trailed Carter by over 30 points in the polls at the time.
The establishment ran moderate Republican John Anderson as a third party candidate.
Reagan won in a landslide.
Going back to drag Reagan into every Trump controversy is a reach.
And it is not at all comparable to the Trump situation.
Reagan was a likable, honorable guy with nothing negative in his life or history.
Trump is no Reagan.
