i kind of hope that Trump does somehow win the republican nomination. that'll outrage the conservative republicans enough that they'll just fail to turn out to vote. and without them, the loony religious right republicans and the loony gun-nut republicans and the loony would-be-libertarian-party-except-for-the-wasted-vote-problem republicans and the self-hating worker republicans etc don't have the numbers to elect a president. of course, that assumes that Bernie fails to get the Democrat nomination. Conservatives would sit back and allow a white female servant of Wall Street to win before they'd allow the same for an old white male democratic socialist. What matters more than anything else is that Wall Street gets to continue doing WTFIW. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
