    Makes me wonder which Republican has the best chance then. My bet is someone who is not at the lead of the fundraising pack as of yet. Nikki Haley? Chris Christie?

      I mean with any luck, they have painted themselves into a corner of hypocrisy and wedge issues so heavily they can’t win the presidency for another 12 years. But as we all know, Americans can’t just let OK, they get restless and just vote for change for changes sake eventually.

        You make the mistake in thinking right wingers give a shit about hypocrisy and consistency - they don’t. Those are tools they use against their enemies, nothing more.

          Right, but you generally need to collect some amount of independents and young people to win an election. Fingers are crossed that if turn outs are high, every election that gets harder and harder to manage.

      I’m hoping literally any Republican wins the primary and then trump runs third party. He could pull a Nader for the next three elections easily, stealing a few crucial % of votes. The party deserves it for creating that monster.
