The Republican candidates

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Let's be honest about this. And as fair as possible. And so on. And so forth. But...

They all suck, don't they? A dismal array of frauds, failures, nutters, creeps, hacks, idiots, swivel-eyed fanatics and the sort of people that you would not let within five feet of small children. And all of the above, obviously.

People, people. Those comments (all of which are objectively correct) are not predictions. Unless the slump somehow ends, then an upset will always be at least possible. Plenty of laughably bad candidates have gone on to win elections.

Not U.S. Presidential Elections.

So not impossible. Though seemingly unlikely.

And which of the things in your OP fit the 1976 Jimmy Carter?

He didn't. But (and this is the point) he was a terrible candidate, but won anyway. Which demonstrates that it is at least possible under certain circumstances.
