      It’s a nice thought, but the concept of Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line is a reality that I’ve seen play out too many times. The only possible exception I could see is if somehow Trump loses the nomination, which appears increasingly less likely by the day.

      Aside from him, all the other GOP candidates will happily get back in formation and sing Trump’s praises. Hell, Trump called Ted Cruz’s wife ugly and insinuated his father was a murderer, and a month later Teddy Boy was making phone calls on Trump’s behalf. Idealogues these are not.

        They aren’t that wrecked yet. I live in a very blue state and Republicans still get north of 40% of the statewide vote. We need to stay vigilant.

      Both men are terrible in their own ways but political diversity leading to worse representation in government is also terrible.
