Good. About 95% of the GOP needs to be voted out anyway.

That's an unprecedented negative vote, as far as I know. So that leaves the door open for someone like Gary Johnson.

But that door is closing. The first debate is toward the end of September, so if the heavy hitters are going to come out and support Johnson, the middle of August would be a great time.

The uncommitted heavy hitters are nearly all Republicans - Bush, Romney, most Senators, the Kochs. But that won't make any difference to the negative voters. If Johnson gets into the debates, and if he does well, then everything would change.
It would be kind of fun.
I would vote for Johnson.

You don't think the Secretary of State, the chief advisor to the President on foreign policy, has any say in foreign policy?

Make that an UNSTABLE Monkey with a keyboard ! Even Dr. Drew, who takes the high road, last night hinted that he sees some Bipolar and Hyper something illness in Trump's behavior. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that.


Don
You support Hillary & watch Dr. Drew? Too bad you didn't reference "The View" and you could have hit the trifecta for non thinkers.

None. But we do have a pair of successful, two-term governors running.

Those are called RINOs, and the plethora of RINOs that had taken up seats in the GOP is why Trump is now the nominee. We Conservatives have had enough with the RINOs and will vote them out. Of course they'll support Hillary, they were never Conservatives to begin with. Good riddance to trash.

Ummmm - as nearly as us outsiders can tell, the Trump-supporting RINOs now dominate the R party. Exactly how do you plan to vote the Trump-supporting RINOs out of the R party if they're the majority????? If the Trump-supporting RINOs are the majority of the R party, why do you still call them RINOs? Aren't they now what the GOP is?????

Will the real RINOS please stand up?

(My head hurts.)

He threw a crying baby out of the event, (I don't care this and would probably do the same but it's in the news everywhere) plus in his own words, "I'm not strong leader".

"We need very, very strong leadership," Trump said. "And I'm just not quite there yet. I'm not quite there yet."

Trump is so erratic that GOP is now looking for options if Trump drops out.
He can do whatever he wants.

Congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois is the latest to say he won't vote for Trump.

Not sure if it's due to conviction or wanting some separation to save his seat.
