They have a proven draw of something like .05% of the vote. Democrats can weather that storm.

Democrats have a much better chance of taking the Senate in 2020 too and you can bet some genuine progressives are going to be running for the available slots.

If Democrats can't field a candidate able to handle third party votes and easily defeat a weakened and unpopular Trump then they simply don't deserve to win the presidency.
