They will convince some (just enough, if their plan works) that Trump is unfit, blah blah blah, and try to peel off enough to put Hillary in. Ralph Nader and Al Gore were both libs, but Nader took enough leftist support to cost Gore the election in 2000.

He came close to beating Clinton money wise last month. There’s also been a few articles encouraging him to go third party. I can see that happening if Biden is substituted for Clinton.

Yep. What a surprise he got started under x41. Not.

None of these drama queens ever piped up about Obama like this. And that includes a few that used to be around here.

Incredible.

Why would Hillary be the lesser of evils to this POS?

Answer: Amnesty, open borders, endless spigot of illegal aliens, cheap labor for the open borders sellouts who are the benefactors and who pays these people and these politicians.

This is all about ONE THING. It has been since DAY ONE with the attacks on Trump. It is because Trump said he will build a wall. Understand?

Nothing else matters to these GOPe pigs, but the majority base voted for Trump. Period. The Bush dynasty is dead. Why? Because Bush et all were for amnesty.

Nothing else matters to these GOPe types but amnesty, open borders, an endless spigot of illegals and cheap labor. They don’t care if Hillary is for abortion, Trump is not or visa versa, or any other thing, period. They don’t care about terrorism this or that. They only care about cheap labor. They do not care if America turns into Mexico. They do not care is we are balkanized. Understand?

So WHOEVER WILL DELIVER ON AMNESTY, OPEN BORDERS and CHEAP LABOR is THEIR CANDIDATE. Sure, they would prefer that to be a Republican. But if not, they will gladly support the Democrat who may be a socialist but who is on the open borders/amnesty agenda.

I’ve counted about 5 or 6 who were giving their opus and then never left. Can only remember two other names specifically. But on, and on, and on. And they don’t leave.

Trump? The corrupt orange nutcase?

No way.

Staffing in D.C. and elsewhere for suicide hotline personnel and first responders, and bringing all doctors in, even the ones on call, would be a prudent plan. There's a whole helluva lot of Washington Elite Establishment, Globalists, Lobbyists, Donor class, educrats, government controlled media, so-called "conservative" media, NYC hedge fund managers---these people are all at a very high risk of suicide, attempted suicide, murder-suicide.

The Globalist Elite of the world faces a global revolution costing them trillions in accumulated wealth and trillions in future generational wealth. The REAL conservatives sided with the PATRIOTS---the real conservatives. The NATIONALISTS. The Washington Elite sided with their own side, the Globalists, crony capitalism, 1 percenters

THE Globalist Oligarch Party tried to trick the weak minded and non-informed into thinking that open borders, unlimited immigrantion, export of jobs, import of trojan horse Muslim terror cells---that THIS was conservatism!!! TPA and TPP and CFR and Corker's bill and nukes for Iran---THIS they told us was "true" conservatism.

The post-modern flirtation with Globalism is FINISHED, at least for the USA. A historical anomaly that cost the USA hundreds of trillions of dollars and countless jobs, an experiment in NEOLIBERALISM (hooked up perfectly in sync with the perpetual war of the NEOCONS) has failed forever, much as the decades of experiment with Soviet communism fell with the Berlin Wall. Our founders and their visions prevailed, in the modern personage of Donald J. Trump.

Constitution-loving small-government conservatives will have a former Republican governor on the ballot (Gary Johnson) as an alternative to populist Trump.

I’d vote for Trump if I thought it could make the difference in a swing state, but it dismayed me that Trump was trashing everything and everybody on the Right, including Ted Cruz, many good Republican Senators and Governors, National Review and Fox News.

Maybe Trump Version 2.0, no longer running against “GOP-elected” will bring me around, but in my deep-Blue state, I’ll likely vote for the Libertarian. As usual, I can always say “don’t blame me - I didn’t vote for him”.
