Your construct is one of politics, mine and many other conservatives is one of constitutionality.

Yuge difference. Stick with the constitution and things will work out. That, is truly what liberals and progressives do not understand, nor apparently want.
Exactly. THAT is what they will NEVER understand.

What law as written allows for us to cede our privacy rights simply because we freely engage in business with a company like the conservative justices ruled in the cell phone case?

I’m pretty sure I do have the right to my opinion, but thanks for playing.

Aren’t their other ways to ensure the viability of a 3rd party candidate? A stronger grass-roots campaign?

Maybe it’s just my frustration over the reality star president’s ridiculousness, but...2016 was just too important. Having said that, though... if you are comfortable with the way Trump is taking this country, then YMMV. I was sharing my own opinion.
If it's that important you pick someone other than a cheating lying sell out.

Actually, that would be hilarious. I sincerely hope he does it. Actually, why don’t you tweet him that gem of an idea.

Elections have consequences. This one will hurt. I hope the country can rebound.

One of many reasons why we should be grateful that Trump won the presidency.

I'm not saying it ever will come to that but things are headed in an extremely ominous direction.
The USA was a Christian country from 1776 - 2008, with overtly Christian presidents and predominatly Christians in other high offices, and with Christian oriented institutions. It is not like we need to speculate about what that might be like for us.

Seriously, you guys need to get a grip on reality, because you clearly do not currently have one.

Answer? You’re just getting off on posting your standard HRC hate. Find someone else too play with.
