Here's a wild way for Democrats to try to stop Trump: Vote in Republican primaries

In many states, rules allow them to cast ballots for an alternative — like Nikki Haley

Troy Denning has made a living imagining fantastical plots as a prolific writer of science fiction with numerous Star Wars tomes under his belt.

He's now envisioning a real-life storyline about a disturbance in the electoral force, in which millions of Democrats vote in Republican primary contests in a mission to stop Donald Trump.

Denning is himself grappling with whether to drift to the other side. To join a rebel alliance, if you will, with non-Trump Republicans to help one of the other candidates win the primary in his home state of Wisconsin.

"Nikki Haley is somebody I would never vote for in the general," Denning said in an interview, referring to the former UN ambassador and South Carolina governor. "But if I have to end up having her as my president, I would feel a lot safer than I would if Donald Trump is my president."

Denning is a political moderate who voted decades ago for Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr. He's now keen on seeing the Republicans nominate either Haley or Chris Christie, former governor of New Jersey.

But his literary vocation is appropriate for this moment. The idea of stopping Trump — at this point, especially in the primaries — is beginning to resemble science-fiction.

I'll wait until more info comes out about the late Mister Crooks.

If he was a wild, politically motivated student, for example, his former classmates would have much input. Everything from who were his peeps to what he said in class to what he wrote on school essays and in other kids' yearbooks.

What about his parents? Their politics and influence?

Much to learn.

"But Thomas Matthew Crooks was a registered Republican!"

And it hasn't occurred to you or anyone else that he likely did so as an Operation Chaos-style vote for Haley, as there would be no point in registering Democrat for his first presidential election, as the oppo in Pennsyltucky was limited to Dean Phillips and 'write-ins'.

Crooks' contribution to ActBlue speaks volumes since he targeted it specifically to the "Progressive Turnout Project", which is steeped in voter fraud.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Wake up Democratic and Republican Trump supporters!

Given the zero tolerance "hair triggers" in Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A), that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred, since crossover voters weaken the voting power of other voters, "beloved" career RINOs er..um “Republicans” should have thrown that section at desperate, elite Democrats who promote crossover-voting decades ago imo.

After all, if elite Democrats knew about Section 2, I'm sure they would have long ago thrown it at Republicans who vote Democrat.

Since Congress has repeatedly proven that it is an enemy of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.

Patriots need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

That’s exactly how states ‘elect’ sh*tbags like Kemp, Raffensberger. And Phelan in Texas.

As for him being a registered Republican. I’m betting his took him to register. He registered as a Republican to appease his dad. And that’s about as much of a Republican he is.
