In a controlled experiment that is bound by the confines of logic, sure. She’s the leading eligible Republican. But in the real world where democracy in America is close to shattering, there’s no way she wins a general. All the prominent Republicans except for the ones who make their wealth off of free trade have endorsed Trump. Everyone in her home state has endorsed Trump. The governor, both senators, every congressman. They would likely flip their endorsements, but this is unprecedented. Trump wouldn’t accept the results. He would blame the RNC, and people like Ramaswamy and Kari Lake would echo his grievances. She won’t win the battleground states that way.

I think they were talking about winning the primary if Trump is disqualified.
She has very little chance of beating Biden if she wins the nomination, but I was writing about the nomination.
