I think they are VASTLY overestimating how many Democrats he will pull. Most Democrats understand what a right wing nut he is. He'll pull disenfranchised Republicans more.

Yeah agreed. To me, the idea that he'll win nonzero electoral votes, or be pulling them from Biden instead of Trump if that happens, seems highly highly unlikely. But it's still notable that she's explicitly in favor of the idea that he should be in the race to swing the election to Trump, and that means winning.

I also like the little fascist overtone "Are there any QUEERS in the theater tonight?" type question.

He'll pull independents, that's the most dangerous thing
