By telling people "don't vote third party, it's a waste of vote", you are doing the Establishment's work for them. That is what they want people to believe so that they can stay in power.

If more people actually ignored such misleading advice, third parties would have a bigger chance.

Jeb, Ted, and the rest only represent the establishment ... which is what The Donald is against ... just like Bernie used to be. Consider how large the anti-establishment electorate (proven by voter turn out) and then it becomes a question of who will be left standing. The woman person's speech was so captivating that even Bubba fell asleep. And all the verbal fallecio she got leading up to this flop speech did nothing. Even the WH moslem mentioned himself 119 times. Demo party unity is almost an oxymoron. Is the R party really splintered? How many R groups are marching against The Donald? I kinda hope Johnson gets his 15%. Most of those will be the one's Bernie threw under the bus.

We need more 3rd parties.

Third parties are a wasted vote.

The best way to make change is FROM WITHIN, as seen by the change in the reub party with the ELECTION of many from the Tea Party".

Open all floodgates for the super rich to buy politicians, through his Supreme Court picks, which makes it impossible to win office without being super rich or the puppet of the super rich.

What's so great about that?
"Bernie Sanders is about taking on the most powerful special interests in the country"

Yet, he took PAC money from them.

Hypocrite, comes to mind.

The typical leftie, "Do as I SAY, NOT as I DO!
