The suspected and actual Democratic field is getting pretty vast. Is there ANY candidate in that field you would vote for - or do you expect to vote for Trump again?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI think that's the whole point - the Democrat party used to be "the God and Country" party, but no more. I'm having a hard time thinking of ANY conservative Democrat, and I think the Party Platform won't allow them to be funded unless they pass the litmus test of being pro-gay and anti-abortion. I would love for somebody to point out some notable exceptions.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law.

Actually, having seen how the democrats have acted over the last two years, I am determined to vote straight republican in the next election no matter who runs, Trump or someone else. I did that in the election last November. I find the way the Democratic party is acting to be deplorable. Now, if someone in the republican party were to run against Trump, I would probably vote for almost anyone over Trump.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostI'll say this: there is nobody in the current crop of Democrats making noise about running who I would consider voting for over Trump, but we'll see who actually gets the nomination. The problem with Democrats is that they have to run far to the left in order to secure the nomination in their own party, and then "pivot" to a more moderate platform to have any hope of winning the general, which just makes them look duplicitous and untrustworthy.
Senate Retrumpians are going to face that problem in bulk in 2020, when it is the Republicans that are defending a couple dozen seats - several in blue states - and the Dems that are only defending a handful.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Of course, the same thing would happen on the other side if someone like Sanders decided to run as an independent. It would essentially ensure Trump would get a second term.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

They are almost certain to lose that contest, given the strong support for Trump among registered Republicans. But if they then ran in the general election as an independent - they could split the Republican vote and get Trump ejected.
