"You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell," South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said on CNN's "New Day" on Tuesday.
You gotta give it to Graham....he may be in last place, but at least he's being honest.
I really hope at this point that Trump gets the nom, because I think it will crack the GOP into the portion that is genuinely conservative (and which cannot bring themselves to support Trump, even if it means electing Clinton) and the portion composed of the creeping cancer of reactionary populism that's been infecting the party for the last 20-30 years and which will happily goose-step for Trump. Then maybe the genuinely conservative faction can reform a legitimate Republican Party worth voting for.
Considering the number of people willing to vote for Trump should he go independent, Trump doing just that could also create the kind of rift that we haven't seen in either party since Teddy Roosevelt and the Bull Moose party. And that was over 100 years ago.
Also, heh on this from Ralph Naders wiki page when I went to look around at numbers for third party candidates:
"2016 presidential race
Nader has encouraged "modestly enlightened rich people" to run in 2016, arguing "only very rich modestly enlightened people could have a chance to break this introverting cycle of political oligarchy, which unenlightened rich people generally approve of, that sets its own rules, makes its own laws, appoints its own judges and even brazenly forces taxpayers to finance its quadrennial political conventions." [104] The candidates he has suggested include Bill Gates, Ted Turner and Oprah Winfrey."
Too bad we didn't have one of those 'enlightened rich people' run.
