Agreed, with the exception that they're pretty OK at winning in a controlled environment where they can oversee the cheating, and when their opponent agrees to play by some archaic rules of decorum and never attack them even while they're screwing the pants off him, and then surrenders and supports the ghoulish evil candidate who screwed him.

Once they have to go into a general election against Republicans who are much better at cheating, they're often fucked.
