How To Help Republicans Think

One curious trait that leads Republicans to stumble is that they often cannot foresee the results of their own actions. Their inability to foresee results may be linked to the fact that they cannot see that they have this weakness.

Suppose someone were to ask a Republican "What would happen if Hillary were unable to continue her campaign? What would the Democrats do, then?"

The obvious answer is that the Democrats would nominate Bernie Sanders. Who was running 14% ahead of Trump a month ago, when Hillary was running only 7% ahead of Trump. Would Repubs rather Trump run against Hillary or against Bernie?

Question Republicans. It will do them good to think.
