GOP donors start research of ballot access laws for independent bid

I don't know if this will actually happen, although there are a lot of rumblings out there. I expect a lot of them will end up backing Hillary or Bloomberg should either make it to the general.

No self-respecting Republican would support Hillary under any circumstance.

Actually, those of us who don't want anything to do with this "new Republican coalition" certainly should go elsewhere. Voting for it only makes us part of the problem.

Yes, the situation is getting increasingly intolerable. But this sort of thing happens, when standards of living for the bulk of the population, stagnate or decline, with no immediate remedy in sight, because it's systemic, and there really is no remedy, other than hoping we can better educate the next generate. So strange stuff, unrealistic promises, demagoguery, intolerance, demonizing the other and the blame game conspiracy theories, authoritarianism, self defeating protectionism (particularly for the longer term as to that) and other assorted and sundry unpleasantness, proliferates. It will probably get worse, before it gets better. Having said all of that, it would be nice to find a politician who tells it like it is, what the hard choices really are, and that it is going to be a long slog, from which there is no escape. The era of American exceptionalism is over. The rise of standards of living in the US as a force of nature, is over. From now on, it's blood, sweat and toil.

The constant need of politicians to go around shouting about how we are the greatest country in the history of ever always reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zqOYBabXmA
