Old School, I have to respectively disagree with you here. Yes, if Trump wins we could lose the Senate in 2022, but we would still have 2 more years before that would happen. Also, even if Trump loses, it does not mean Republicans keep the Senate as the Democrats could very well win 50+ seats in 2020 along with the Presidency. The executive branch is much more valuable than the legislative one and we can't let afford it to be lost. You also have to keep in mind that the Democrat isn't guaranteed to lose in 2024, and they could waltz to re-election if the wrong Republican is nominated.

Long story short, politics bounces way too much to plan for the future so it is smarter to just win when you can and not try to stress about what the result of the win is.

What if we're in a position where we aren't huge on him, but dislike the left more, and think staying home is a better option but everybody I know says a vote for a candidate they hate is better than no vote at all so you might do it out of the idea of picking the one you dislike less
Exactly. Presidential elections are no longer popularity contests, but rather unpopularity contests. The voters pick their poison and have to choose the least-worse candidate, than the best candidate. It techincally means the same thing, but it is the mindset that is different nowdays.
