      I was reading into your original comment that you thought in the past Democrats have put forth candidates that are “even more ludicrously unsuited” than their Republican opponents. I assumed, regrettably, that you were basing your remark on historical evidence.

      You can clear this up pretty quickly by just explaining what you meant. Here’s your comment:

      Vance is an absolute dud of a candidate but I’m sure the Democrats will manage to come up with someone even more ludicrously unsuited.

      Why do you think that? Did you find Harris more unsuited than Trump? If so, for what? If not, what do you mean?

        She lost. If the topic is “unsuited as a candidate”, we have our answer.

          That could be an answer. Unsuited to win. But that’s a little hard to judge ahead of time.

            Ludicrously unsuited, though? Perhaps Harris was by this measure. Biden 2020 was not. Clinton 2016 was only moderately unsuited, since she won popular vote. Same with Gore 2000. Kerry 2004 was ludicrously unsuited to be the nominee, I guess.
