Anti-Trump Republicans Call for a Third-Party Option
NYT ^ | 3/2/16 | By ALEXANDER BURNS

Posted on 03/02/2016 6:32:17 PM PST by Timpanagos1

Spurred by Donald J. Trump’s mounting victories, a small but influential — and growing — group of conservative leaders are calling for a third-party option to spare voters a wrenching general election choice between a Republican they consider completely unacceptable and Hillary Clinton.

It’s a mistake to assume that a 3rd Party movement wants to win

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!


More than ironic. Sen. Sasse is breaking “the no 3rd party pledge” that Trump was forced to agree to. Trump could return the favor and the break from down ticket. Tell his supporters not to vote GOP unless they have endorsed him. GOPe would be SOL then. LOL.

These people are traitors, and deserve traitors’ deaths.

Anyone who would give the Hitlerbeast the White House over a decent man such as Trump deserves a traitor’s death.

If Trump ends up winning the Republican Party nomination than I will wholeheartedly go third party.

We cannot allow Trump to win the Republican nomination.

Trump, who was reluctant to disavow David Duke and the KKK has no place in the Republican Party.

Trump who has a history of praising tyrants including the Chinese Communists responsible for the crackdown on Tiananmen Square has no place in the Republican Party.

Trump who is calling for weakening the freedom of the press has no place in the Republican Party.

Trump, a man who cheated on his first wife and bragged about committing adultery with married women has no place in the Republican Party.

Finally, Trump, a man with a history of supporting liberal democrats who currently thinks Planned Parenthood does great things has no place in the Republican Party.

I will never support Trump. #NeverTrump

It’s called ‘gaslighting’, and you are correct.

As soon as I read the headline, I knew Kristol was behind it.


Even worse. Mitt Romney is behind it. He goes way back with Senator Sasse. Now Mittens is back on the stage tomorrow. None of this is a coincidence.

It’s absolutely real. Head over to twitter and read the preening tweets by Sen. Sasse. He’s so full of himself it’s a parody.
