 You have to go back to George W. Bush against John Kerry to see Republicans doing this well. All Democrats have ever known as winning presidential campaigns but for the anomaly of Trump, and they handled that one terribly because he lost the popular vote and still won. This time, they're on the verge of losing the popular vote, too. They don't know what to do. They're panicked. They want to win. They crave power. They're willing to abandon principle. They're willing to abandon the old man they decided they should nominate.
