I’m an independent for years, and why anyone stays in a party that openly hates it’s base is beyond me. The Rs are beyond reform except for a few dozen elected members. I plan on voting for Trump for the 3rd time, Lord willing. The rest of them in my state can take a hike.
Thing is... If the Independent party was bigger they would have a hell of a time cheating because they would not really know for sure which way it would go. They are not bound by party affiliation. They would not be able to guess ahead how to rig it for sure.
At this point it make too much sense... And if Trump runs as an Independent it would be harder for them to block it. But hardline Pubs would have to stop being loyal to a fault and jump ship. This is the problem, they worship a crooked corrupt party and are not smart enough to get the hell out while the getting is good.
And they are going to take us all down with them...
