OK.
Who are these good/younger potential GOP candidates you speak of? Why didn’t they run when they had the chance?

Third Party advocate? Pick up your dollies and go home you asshole, commie bastard.
Strong letter to follow.

Hilarious article, and thanks for posting. The Establishment is squealing like a stuck pig. I love it.
No, I do not think that the "answer" is to be found in a third party unless the question is an exceedingly stupid one. Despite Cohen's opium dream the polity is not crying out for Mitt Romney to come save us, and in any case it isn't us that Cohen wants to be saved, but himself and the entire uniparty infrastructure that has infested the body politic like a swarm of bloodthirsty ticks. Time for a bath, and if it turns out to be a bloodbath, he'd better start running now.

What it’s really time for is, it’s time for the old Bush hands from both Bushes to retire and disappear from the political scene. The polices they pursued for twelve years have mostly left the nation worse off and their advice is no longer needed, or wanted by most.

I hope when Trump wins he goes McCarthy on any “conservative” that believes.....”...Hillary Clinton, who is easily the lesser evil....”

Yes the long suffering voice of globalism, endless war, endless debt cries out!

Eliot Cohen. I saw his picture before in the dictionary, under the ‘F’s for ‘f—kwit’.

They can go ahead and run a libertarian, he would take votes from both candidates, it would be a wash.

Our own party has sold us out. They helped loot 20 billion dollars. We’ve been invaded. 30 million easy. Its every man for himself at this point.

This diatribe by a Washington insider exemplifies exactly why an outsider was/is required. Even from the democrat side. Alhough Sanders is not exactly an ‘outsider’, he is the closest thing to that the democrats have running in this primary season, and he is putting on a heck of a show. People are tired of candidates who have no special qualifications other than having attended some overrated college/university and/or coming from a wealthy or politically connected family. Take off the bow tie and realize that God didn't give you ‘special’ knowledge that allows you to dismiss the opinions of every who doesn't agree with you.
If the GOP tries to run a third party candidate you had better start practicing to say President Hillary Clinton without gagging.
Trump is definitely the lesser of two evils. (and I do mean EVILS!)
