This year is just like 1860. There’s bound to be a Bell-Everett type ticket (we don’t believe in anything but can’t we all just get along?).
That’s an interesting take on this year. Of course, there are always declared candidates of minor parties, but this year I’d be surprised if this doesn’t devastate what’s left of the Demagogic Party.
