I was not talking about a specific single election. I was talking about a situation where the voters always have cyclic preferences, and what a potential candidate could or could not do to try to be the CW.

BUT, make Approval the standard and Condorcet could start looking better. The context was that there is a cycle. As I understood it, the context was that there is *always* a cycle with these voters.
