Yeah he’d be a big national vote getter.

The GOP got everyone to sign a fricken contract to support the elected nominee. Now they want a third party? Am I misinterpreting something here?

Ironic (and hypocritical) isn't it? The same "Republicans" demanding a Loyalty Oath from Donald Trump that he wouldn't go third-party and would abide by the results of the Primaries are now going back on their own word, their own deal!

Gotta love the irony!

As I just mentioned on another thread, one of the problems with this is that those who oppose Trump fall into two camps: the liberal establishment Republicans and the very conservative Republicans (primarily social conservatives). A nominee suitable to one will not be suitable to the other.

how about a 4-5 yr. suspension of civilian rule and a joint Armed Forces military counsel leadership instead ?

Obviously the CIVs are completely off the tracks and America is about to get attacked as never before in our history . We need to be ready , before , not after ....

Mittens should restart the BULL MOOSE PARTY.

Replace the word Moose with a more suitable one.
