Eliot A. Cohen served in the Defense and State departments in the George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush administrations, respectively.
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.

OK.
Who are these good/younger potential GOP candidates you speak of? Why didn’t they run when they had the chance?
He an Ediot.
Third Party advocate? Pick up your dollies and go home you asshole, commie bastard.
Strong letter to follow.
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’.
Yeah, Yeah!!! I hope Bernie Sanders runs third party!
John Anderson!
They can go ahead and run a libertarian, he would take votes from both candidates, it would be a wash.
Have fun with that; have fun with Her Thighness.
Sorry, that gravy train is leaving the station.
It has also revealed its impotence.
I urge Bernie to run 3rd party.
Fruck them. Hang em high!!!!!
Oh, the editorialists of the Washington Post (and the New York Times and Boston Globe, etc.) really are scum, aren’t they?
Go Trump, go!!!! PHOOEY to the nay-sayers!!!!
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.
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!)
