This country is so screwed. There was never a chance when so many supported Obama, and now so many support Trump. There is no hope and there is no change from what the ignorant gave us and will give us.

Well I think that ignorance is ignoring the electoral maps and making believe this is still 30-40 years ago. The (D)ummycrats do not need to screen their candidates because almost anyone they nominate walks in with well over 200 electoral votes in their pocket, as many as 250 if the candidate is merely considered sane.

Meanwhile there are those on our side that insist on nominating their preferred perfect candidate who walks in with at most 180 electoral votes, and has no shot in the remaining 12 swing states where they must win a majority.

So perhaps those Trump supporters, where apparently the TEA Party has landed, are not so ignorant after all, but ahead of the curve and ahead of you? That's worth considering IMHO. The people are bypassing conventional wisdom and the media and the establishment and are going for the win.

If you really want to gamble the entire executive branch ( Supreme Court Justices, countless federal judges, the Military, all cabinets, almost all civil servants ) for the sake of any perfect candidate ( and just who might that be anyway? ) but who loses in battleground states then perhaps you should be in a casino where losses from bad bets are confined to your bankroll and not anyone else's? Just sayin'.

Please note that contrary to the whining by Mark Levin and others, being practical with this one elective office is certainly not abandoning principles. That argument would only hold water if we did that for all those other offices at stake: Supreme Court, House, Senate, Governors, Mayors, Dog Catchers. No-one is doing that and if they did I would be right beside you in jumping down their throats. Unfortunately, while this may be a single man elected to a single office, the office is actually an entire branch of government. Candidate discretion is advised.
