That is exactly the tactic Democrat used to get Richard Nixon elected back in the leftist anarchist's glory days.
They must want to see if the tactic still works.

Nixon’s opposition for the VP under Ike was Teddy McKeldin, a Trump by any measure. He nominated Ike at both conventions but was passed over by the party elite in favor of Nixon, a red baiter. By the time Nixon came back to beat Humphrey the country was fed up with Vietnam and wanted out of the War on Poverty. Flushing Nixon was no small task but was aided by his own paranoia. Not that he had no reason to be paranoid.
When Reagan defeated Carter we had our first taste of Trumpism since Teddy Roosevelt, both men were bigger than life and double the pleasure. Now we come full circle again and every day Americans know it and are more than ready to celebrate all that being an American means.
It is absolutely true that Trump’s defeat by whatever means will bring down the government. This truly is the last chance to save us from the chaos progressives have been planning for 50 years.
