Outside the borders of the pic, a little girl asks her mom, “That old lady is so ugly. What happened to her?”

I don’t think they want to succeed. Like the fictional Joker and the very real Libs, if they don’t get their way, they just want to see the world burn.

I can see the fun writers for WP had with this story. I can even see and understand the clown car riders setting up a circular firing squad.

The hard part is understanding an otherwise functioning adult stupid enough to climb in bed with these bozos.

I would advise Trump, upon election, to give them the word to never attempt to step foot into the WH. Trump will probably welcome them though, like the spider to the fly. LOL

[glock rocks]

Yes.

We shall see what we shall see :o)

Stay safe.

The GOP-e once again reminds us that it must be politically eviscerated.

[WENDLE]

THIS IS OVER!! WE GET ALL 50 STATES, Trump/ NEWT!!

[bigbob]

Yes, they totally overstate the desire for an alternative

[struggle]

Now let’s turn the third party talk to Bernie.

[Parley Baer]

Washington Post is really pushing the narrative of a 3rd party run.

Is there a working Website or even a maintained list of these fools on FR?

[Neu Pragmatist]

Not sure , but that is a great idea ..we need one ..

[stocksthatgoup]

Hey, Ben Sasse how is that working out for you?

[ladyjane]

They will do whatever it takes.

[Boomer]

Group suicide would be nice. Please consider that.

I second that motion.

[jazminerose]

The takeaway for them from their little collective tantrum should be that they have ZERO influence. None. Zip. Nada. Irrelevant hacks.

[Ann Archy]

ALL of these people have helped to DESTROY the Republican Party and America.....they are all LOSERS also.

[OldNewYork]

Trump for president. Clinton for prison. Romney and friends for being run out of the Republican Party on a rail.

[Kit cat]

Well their whole 10 votes to Gary Johnson should REALLY hurt Trump.......NOT!!!! What a bunch of babies, I will tell you one thing voting for MITTENS was just horrible for me but I held my nose and voted for this asshat, SCREW YOU MITTENS!!!!!

Hi KC!

They’ve been talking a little about the 3rd party on Fox & Friends this a.m. They’ve been mentioning Mitt and Mark Cuban (Mavericks owner and on Shark Tank), as well as Kasich.
