Trump’s impending nomination means it’s time for a third candidate
Washington Post ^ | May 3, 2016 | Eliot A. Cohen

Posted on 05/04/2016 12:44:10 PM PDT by C19fan

It’s over. Donald Trump, a man utterly unfit for the position by temperament, values and policy preferences, will be the Republican nominee for president. He will run against Hillary Clinton, who is easily the lesser evil but is trailed by clouds of scandal and misconduct and whose party’s left wing poses its own threats to liberties of speech, religion, enterprise and association.

It is time for a third candidate, and probably for a third party.

BS Mr. Cohen. You are part of #NeverTrump because he has finally exposed the Neo-Con emperor has no clothes.

I think that all Republicans should look to the Washington Post and take any advice they find there.

This was posted earlier today. Doubt many people care what Eliot Cohen thinks. I sure don’t. Just add him with Erickison and others to the Clinton camp. No biggie.

They should name this new 3rd party, The Neo-Con Artist and Open Borders Toadies for Hillary Party.

Trump has smoked them out of their holes like rats. The best thing that could happen is all the neo-con artists, i.e. Kristol, Krauthammer, Cohen, Goldberg, and all the others, go back to the democrat party where they belong. They started infesting the republican party like a virus starting in the 1980’s, their time should be over.

And where’s the corresponding article, entitled “Hilary’s impending nomination means it’s time for a third candidate”?

I think we need to make the hashtags #WriteInBernie and #ThirdPartyBernie go viral.

“It is time for a third candidate, and probably for a third party.”

And Mr. Cohen, what would this third party platform be comprised of?

More of the same dog food I suspect.

Eliot Cohen...something tells me he wears bowties.

Any man who would vote for Shrillary Clinton has definitely turned in his man card and perhaps also wears bowties.

I agree with Cohen, we need Bernie and Nader to run a third party.

Trump’s impending nomination means it’s time to divide the Republican vote.

Soros machinations and millions of newly enfranchised immigrants may not be enough.
