Even if he loses this election he'll be a kingmaker behind the scenes for the rest of his life. On top of being the default candidate every 4 years until he dies.
We're gonna be deprogramming these people for the rest of our lives.
Just let them be "republicans", make a new "conservatives" party and with the fucked up system the democrats will win every time ...
Hmm...
That's assuming half of the less liberal democrats don't also join that new party.
Imagine two main political parties that each try to do their best for their constituents and their country, are ethical and upstanding citizens, and willing to work with their peers to build the future. Imagine choosing between multiple legitimate candidates by policy, rather than fear of fascism
Hopefully enough people understand that the system is broken and needs some fixing instead.
This is exactly what I hope happens... I'm just not sure Republicans have it in them not to line up behind a flawed candidate.
