I don’t know why everyone keeps insisting that courting the right was a stupid move. I personally know a lot of life long Republicans that got real tired of the MAGA stuff. In this matchup specifically, trying to scoop the conservative-but-not-MAGA vote makes sense by the numbers. Obviously it didn’t pan out, but at least in theory, there should be a sizeable bloc of voters there.
“So what you’re saying is we need to move further to the right.”

Exactly the message I expect them to take away from this, if 2016 and 2020 are any indication. Zero introspection.
