When two race cars are battling for position, the car in front of them always

is the ultimate winner of the situation.

They always slow each other down, allowing the lead car to get an even bigger lead.

If rump the traitor is the leader in this scenario then you can be sure any and all unnecessary bickering will be to HIS advantage.

Whether it is in a democratic primary or members currently serving in the House.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

With race cars, or cyclists, etc. Those off the lead conserve a lot of energy and can sprint for the finish. Not sure what point you were trying to make.

Unless the two cars create a single file draft. But when they are battling for position they are not doing that.

ALWAYS

He's making a metaphor about democrats arguing with each other. In this metaphor, Trump is "in front".

But I have to admit, I was a bit confused at first considering how the Firecracker 400 finished. I thought it was some NASCAR rant.
