Remember that the republican Establishment did this before, in 1980 with John Anderson.

It was laughable. Reagan still won 44 states, and swept the senate into republican control for the first time since 1954 and significantly increased the republican numbers in the House.

I KNEW Donald should have gotten loyalty oath from Rinse when he made his loyalty oath.

Won't make any difference, though. Milt Romley is about as exciting as a warm bucket of spit.

If GOPe pulls this stunt, the party will go the way of the Whigs, replaced by an American version of UKIP.

Huckabee, Pataki,Graham, Gilmore and Santorum are all scratching their heads: “Romney is talking 3rd party to block Trump? They told me that’s what I was here for!”

John Anderson! Been trying to remember his name all afternoon long. He ran as an Independent.

If true, this proves they are less concerned with winning than the possible upsetting of the gravy train.

Before it's over the republican establishment will be trying to recruit Lyin' Lizie Warren or Lois Lerner to run for them.

Anyone other than a reformer who promises to upset their corrupt system.

What Establishment? Reagan had the party behind him when he ran, Chafee, Jeffords, Specter, Hatfield, and the rest.

Anderson was a quixotic outrider who got more support from Democrats and Independents than Republicans, let along elected Republican officials.
