Trump’s impending nomination means it’s time for a third party (by Eliot Cohen) [Flashback]

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....

This guy is popping up in the news - He was on the transition team ...

All of a sudden when America finds her compass and re-learns how to use it, from out of the woodwork comes all of these "No, you're on the wrong track" type of comments.

All y'all just cluttering up my communication with Patriots .... GET OFF MY LAWN !

[Rebel2016]

Unbelievable! I thought Trump has a longer memory and vindictive. I really hope he does.

These dopes seem to not realize:

Trump WAS the third party candidate on the ballot

Elliot Cohen is trying to oust Noam Chomsky from his position as the least relevant political commentator in America.

Hope you're not directing that to me ... Here's the scoop trending on Cohen, they are making it sound like he was Pro Trump:

After exchange w Trump transition team, changed my recommendation: stay away. They're angry, arrogant, screaming "you LOST!" Will be ugly.

[knarf]

No, not necessarily ... but the articles and comments just seem so anti Trump and the guy is not only an American Patriot, he also hasn't had a chance to shine ... yet.

I just resent it all ... that's all.

Dumbass. Trump IS the third party.

There is an old Vulcan saying: “Only Nixon could go to China”.

Fact is, this is a time we needed a Trump. We needed a rollback of PC and all the other nonsense going on. A “normal” politician would never have gotten as far as he did. It took someone that could have truly embarrassing stuff from his past exposed and just move on like nothing happened.

We’ll see what we have after Trump. Maybe we can get back to “normal” politicians. But with the internet trumping the MSM, this may be a vision of things to come.

Making the case for the purple party. Go for it!!!

Cohen is on twitter now bashing Trump transition team - NYT and others making it look like he walked off transition team. Apparently he was tapped by Christie to help, but I posted this article because HE WAS NEVER WITH TRUMP in the first place ...

[Belteshazzar]

Now I feel really bad.

Just go to youtube and watch the snowflakes melt, you’ll feel better. Here I’ll get ya started:

They can't help their historically long standing compulsion.
Is short, what do you expect?
