I think he just wanted someone who might make Biden rethink some of his policies and thereby IMPROVE his chances of winning. I don’t think he believed Phillips had any chance of reaching the general election. This is in the same democratic (small d) spirit of the Uncommitted vote in Michigan. They weren’t trying to get Trump elected, but to influence Biden, who seems to be blind to his power to stop the Gaza slaughter, which could in fact be a factor in losing to Trump. Trump’s supporters have no sympathy for crushed kids, and are convinced Jeesus will return when Israel rebuilds the temple. There is no point in trying to appeal to them to change course.
