It is also sheer idiocy for Republicans to run so many candidates. Republicans eat their young in primaries. Dems are smart and get one guy out front and everyone runs behind him. Sometimes it’s a loser, like Hillary. But most of the time, the strategy against an overcrowded Republican field, works wonders.
Wouldn’t more Rep candidates attract more Rep voters?
That’s a fair point. They would have been better to have one good candidate for people to coalesce behind. That said, it’s based on the sum total of percentage, so essentially all you have to do is vote for an R to keep him from going over 50%, right?
