I’d admire Sasse’s spine in opposing this unpredictable non-conservative and likewise oppose his nomination but vote splitting in November means sure victory for the democrats (unless fantasies of Trump’s extreme attractiveness to dem voters are true, which I doubt).
I would 1000% oppose Trump if he went rouge independent because he was “robbed” in brokered convention even if the nominee was a chump like Romney and I have to likewise oppose running an independent conservative (or “conservative”, Perry has been suggested) against him if he’s the nominee. I wish we didn’t have a system that allowed some jerk a majority of party voters would reject to win with a plurality but we do, as we learned 4 years ago. The nominee is the nominee.
This discordant tune was played in 1912, it was a brown note for America and the fault lied with the rouge independent TR. Hillary (or Biden, Sanders whatever but it’s gonna be Hillary) must be kept out or we are 100% cooked.
Don’t say it!
I did not mean to write “rouge” though that may apply as well as “rogue” does, certainly in the case of TR’s 1912 platform. ;d
