    Why are Collins and other Republicans being so craven? Simple: The evidence has been clear for decades for anyone who cared to look. From a quantitative standpoint, championing white nationalism in this country has always been good politics.

    This is disgusting, and the suggestion is a result of decades of Democratic disengagement and disenfranchisement. There are also far more conservatives to woo than far-left third-party voters.

    If Republicans are voting while Democrats abstain and vote third-party, candidates will inevitably move right to capture more of the active voters.
