Thank fuck. This man can go down in history as the savior of the Republic if he fucks off and endorses someone else.

    Because it takes time to build a national campaign. You need 50 different states to sign off on the ballots. The DNC can basically hand-pick a candidate, but they would basically be telling every primary voter to get fucked.

    There would be legal challenges in 50 different states, and the GOP only needs one activist judge (and they have 6 on the SCOTUS).

    The last time there was a brokered convention was 1952.

    Plus, who? Who is the dream candidate? Who is so widely appealing that they would be unanimously accepted by the Democratic party leadership and the voters? Who has the leadership qualities, the experience, the confidence, the name recognition, and the credentials to beat the shit out of Trump? And where the fuck have they been?

          Hard to say. He didn’t look like a great candidate until he was Prez.

          I’m not saying let’s throw caution to the wind or let’s make a huge mess.

          Only that it can has happened and worked. It does not mean it will ever again.
