I'm all for a splinter in the GOP party but not at the expense of Donald Trump selecting Justice Scalia's replacement.
I can only hope Sanders has the stones to continue to shake the DNC up.

I understand Duvenger. The endplay is the tendency for a duality. Fine. Let a new party emerge.
Your issues with the GOP have little to do with national elections. They haven't been able to secure the popular vote in a presidential election in decades. The extreme right have an amplified voice as a result of gerrymandering in the house with its origin in the 2010 census.
In in any event, Your fringe right are always going to drift toward whichever new party might emerge putting you right back where we are today. It's a structural flaw in the cons ution imhmfo.
I fear either of them winning. Even with his anti free trade stance i cant in good conscience support Trump's blatantly racist inflammatory rhetoric. And Hillary's New Democrat neoliberal agenda makes the Center feel more like the Center Right. When like rebuilding our roads and taxing the wealthy high rates during wartime become radical, well, what is there to say anymore...
Just buy call options in the VIX .
Yeah, this election is probably even worse than Bush vs Gore. Conservative democrat vs white nationalist, what a ing ty choice.
I thought America was already great ?
There's always Gary Johnson. Hahaha.
Here's something on using the stock market to predict the elections (the other way around):

Dude...
Absolutely.
But Trump being so unpredictable is still germane because he is the Republican nominee.
When the public has no idea were a candidate really stands because he lies and backtracks, I would think uncertainty leads to people voting against that candidate.
What do you think? You really think he would build a wall?
"When the public has no idea were a candidate really stands because he lies and backtracks"
a Trash spokesman said Trash's words don't mean anything, iow, take NOTHING seriously, and that they will make up policies after he's elected.
I am not stuck on a wall. I think that illegal immigration can be dealt with more efficiently and cheaply by using e-verify and HUGE fines to the employer who violates them - I see this as a win-win - employers won't do it and if they do, the government gets more money. If you take away illegals' reason for coming, that'll reduce the need for a wall. Then just enforce the immigration laws on the book. I'd be for amnesty for the 11 million, (if they haven't committed any crime), pay a fine, join the back of the line but no voting for 10 years and they must learn English (so they assimilate/integrate). I'd also get rid of sanctuary cities. As far as Trump is concerned, I'm afraid he'll have to at least start the wall because so much of his campaign is based on it.
With Trump - everything is out there - his mouth has no filter. Now, do I prefer knowing about all his faults and pettiness or do I prefer being deceived (by Hillary who will say and do anything to get elected). As far as the backtracking is concerned, most of that is because he doesn't understand whatever policy - whether (repub stance) abortion (because he really is pro-abortion) or H1-B visas, etc.
I'm hopeful that Trump can shake things up in Washington - only someone as bull-headed, so full of bravado could even try - anyone else would cave to public opinion, political correctness and these attacks from all sides including his own party. Hillary is just more of the same old, corrupt system. Anyways, the electoral college is already stacked against the republicans so my hope is very slim.
You know, I tell myself everyday to just ignore the filth that comes out of your mouth but when you bring race into the discussion, it is just so hypocritical. FYI, I was born and raised in a country where over 92% of the people are black - whose motto is "Out of many, one people," listening to reggae and Michael Jackson. My aunt is black, my cousin is half-black, my best friend was black, the woman who helped raise me while my parents worked is black - interracial relationships are commonplace where I come from. Your comment is so hypocritical considering you refer to me as a f****** mongoloid.
People just need to make sure to vote for the candidates down ballot where they have more of an effect on the outcome anyway.
What's to be afraid of.
Everything bad he would try to do (raise tariffs) he would need Congress' permission to do.....and he won't get it.
Everything good he would try to do (gut administrative agencies) he could do on his own.
He's also clearly anti-war. He's a textbook isolationist pretending to be war monger to get votes.
I'll take the conservative Democrat over neo-con Hillary any day of the week.
pretty sure their motto was "its bobsled time, cool runnings"
The bobsled stunned me. I'm so used to only the sprinters - I've been cheering since Donald Quarrie won gold in 76, but Usain Bolt has surpassed them all. For such a small country to produce so many world class sprinters makes me so proud - well that and reggae. Our Blue Mountain coffee is pretty good too. And our beaches.
sadly not your posters
Trump can't do any worse than Bush, and we all got through that.
his words mean more then clinton
Sigh. When one is born in a country such as mine, and raised primarily by someone who is black, one is colorblind. It's all I know and some of the most important people in my life are black. I don't even remember when I became aware that my skin color was different from my caretaker's. I suppose at some point I figured out that I ate both Jamaican and Chinese food depending on who was cooking - I became a blend of both cultures - I refer to myself as Jamaican Chinese because except for my skin color and food, almost everything I am is Jamaican (now of course, American is mixed in there).
I know it's hard to believe coming from the US that race can NOT be a big deal in other places, but I didn't even think about that until I came here and saw the divisiveness that the issue of race brings. The people in Jamaica do not have the at ude about race that is so prevalent in the US and it's not because of poverty or slavery as most in Jamaica are poor and descended from slaves. They don't blame anyone for their situation - there's no white privilege (or Asian, Indian, etc) oppression - they mostly all work hard because there is no welfare/social safety net in Jamaica - they depend on family, relatives and friends.
In the late 70s, the Prime Minister of Jamaica started to get very close to Cuba's Castro - this scared a lot of people - there was a mass migration to Miami, New York and Toronto. Those who could, including my family, fled so it's not like I had a choice. Anyways, I explain this so that you can see that there are other points of view and remind you of the inclusiveness and tolerance that the Democrat party (I'm assuming here that's the one you prefer) espouses.
