Yes, this clone of Donald Trump that we generated from tissue samples believes all the same things Donald Trump does, and acts exactly like Donald Trump in all ways, but we're going to have to support him in November; the only thing that matters is defeating Donald Trump.
This has been today's thought experiment demonstrating that the reason Democrats have to demolish Republicans in 2020 is because unlike Republicans they've shown themselves to have some principles beyond self-empowered lawlessness, and if we lose that then winning is meaningless.
Put another way, "vote blue no matter who," while broadly correct, must naturally have some boundary of standards for it to be a useful strategy rather than a hackable vulnerability, and those boundaries will require the application of principle and discernment.
Again, this is a thought experiment, not a critique of anybody specifically, nor a suggestion anyone else is like Trump in all ways.

But I *am* saying it's necessary to apply discernment and principle long before we reach that mark, if we want a victory worth anything.
I will say this, though: I trust people willing to apply discernment and principle in pursuit of a meaningful victory more than I trust those willing to abandon them for any victory at all.

So do most people.

Which means so do most voters.

Food for thought.
