But maybe Republicans will find footing and gain a spine. But that requires them standing with the Democrats. Sounds like the perfect situation to me. Bannon destroys the GOP. The nutters go to whatever Breitbart party he creates and the sane Republicans go back to doing their job. And the FPTP system helps to keep the nutters forever out of power. What more could you want? Those republicans will turncoat into democrats, and then you have a one party system. Except you don't because the democrats are a multiparty coalition that votes together once it decides a platform in order to defeat the other multiparty coalition they dislike more than they dislike each other. Take away the Republicans and the Democrats will fracture into two parties. There will always be two parties.
We can dream where the entire goverment is fiscally conservative democrats and progressive democrats. We can dream.

I'll be a real live independent undecided voter then! I'm excited at the prospect of voting for candidates from both parties.

Meltdown is really not an accurate way to describe a tweet.

Trump won the Arizona primary in a landslide even after he called McCain pathetic the first time around.

So your post was a meltdown, everything's equivalent, humans don't need to discuss things ever again.

I'm not sure if this is a civil war or a murder suicide at this point.

A reminder that rich Biff Tannen from Back to the Future 2 was based on Trump. In the 80s.
We were told this was coming. They just got the year wrong.

God this is even more beautiful than I could have possibly imagined.

Of course, they will likely implode. But until then the discourse in this country will be garbage You could put all the bad people into camps. Concentrate them on one spot, you know? Maybe you can then find a final solution to your problem. This bait is low grade and pretty shit. One might call it a shit post.
Actually it was a pretty good bait, come on ! Good one RoomOfMush.
Trump is really the funniest candidate ever.

I love the delusion that attacking the party that you joined somehow going to help him in any way. He is only proving everything Clinton has said to be true.
Edit: I still think we should call him Biff from now how. It all makes way more sense with time travel.
