At this point in my political leanings I would not be adverse to such a development. Although I sincerely doubt Fred will do that. And I appreciate that he wouldn't. He is a man of integrity and while many of us rank and file folks have left the GOP, and others thinking about it, Fred will not, and to be honest that is to his credit in this election cycle.
We can, and I will, if I make the polls in November, write his name in. It is the only principled choice I believe I have left after many years of voting in this Republic.
