A Democratic group is spending about $2.7 million on a television ad promoting Bernie Moreno, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, just ahead of next week’s Republican primary.
oh yes, because that never backfired at all.
I was horrified when I first heard about this, though it actually seems to be a good strategy, if risky and ballsy:
Prop up an opposing candidate in the primary, who you project (the risky part) will poll worse against you in the general election.
It seems to be working…

Statistically this is always the right play, tho. Trump was an outlier.
