I guess I agree with Chuck on that. That strategy adds to the discredit Democrats have been getting from too many. And it's too risky. MAGA extremists should always be opposed. Let the Repugs discredit themselves.

That's an honest position for sure.  My only concern: the Marquis of Queensboro rules are not viable when one side uses any means to win all the time.  This may be more of a turning point election than even we T4Ters believe.  If so, then the results AND THE METHODS will be dissected ad nauseum by all sides, and "dishonest tinkering" may be important to more than just the losers.  But in the end, losing gracefully is not an option -- not this time. It's sad that has to be so.
