Lisa Murkowski, won on a write-in campaign in 2010, when a Tea Party Republican (Proto-MAGA) won the primary. She is in the Senate to this day.
2010 was the election in which a bunch of Tea Party candidates beat Republican incumbents in the primary, and then went on to lose in the general, flipping a few seats. Murkowski was one of the few survivors because she was a rare winner of a write-in campaign. I suspect that the MAGA candidates that have won their Primaries, aren’t going to fare so well in the General. Trump may have traded a few solid Red seats for Blue seats.
These guys always have a plan, but it’s always a bad plan.

Yeah I’m not saying he should do it to win, he should do it to split the vote
I like that idea. He could drain off enough votes to ensure a Democrat victory.
