Why would he do that? He's probably going to win the nomination as a republican.

Mysogyny Crank? Your confused,the thing is obviously a bull dike if not the first tranny-why else would Bill be so frustrated to be out assaulting the female populace.
Shame on you.
On a tangent,
I just had a visual thought of Hillary Clinton during the first time "Hail to the Chief" gets fired up under her command. GAAAH, how that is going to stick in the craws of the misogynists. Brings a joyful tear to my eye, it does.
Oh, and I LOVE Dingus' sandwich pictures which are always accompanied by little stories. He is an exceptional storyteller.

We will know in the coming weeks how receptive the party is to his candidacy. The party seems to be struggling right now to make up its mind about him.

Whigs, Pyro, not wigs.
The Wigs party is the one dancing to the piper Drumpf.

The Republican Party may not survive this election.

Nationally that could be the case. But they are still strong in most states.

When Trump tells us how smart he is, he proves how stupid he is..

An explanation why crossing party lines to vote for Trump to sabotage republicans is a very risky idea:

Bottom line: trump might win because he has crossover appeal to swing/moderate voters, and all predictions about his impending demise have so far been proven wrong. No one really knows what to expect this year. Don't underestimate him.

Tact...
Empathy, too. Insulting a reporter's disability? Really? That's a peek into his heart.

The Republican Party may not survive this election.
The Republican party has survived for a long time now on the premise that "we suck less than the other guy". Which, by the way is a telling commentary about Democrats as well.
They have understood the absolute critical need to perpetuate the "vote for a winner" mentality. Otherwise people might get inspired to vote for a candidate that holds more value than the possibility of a win.
But people are starting to realize that Republican candidates don't really suck THAT much less than the other guy, and are deciding to vote for the candidate that holds more value than the least worst option.
Its a slow roll, but the Republicans can't haul enough water to convince me (or a growing number of others) that their candidate is worth voting for just on the strength of the Democrat boogeyman.
EDIT: In the meantime, I am perfectly happy with a completely hogtied and ineffective government that can do absolutely nothing.

I don't think there's much evidence that Trump has any crossover appeal to swing or moderate voters. He doesn't even appeal to moderate Republicans. I think the thing for Democrats to worry about is low voter turnout--particularly if Hillary is the party's nominee.

I propose we start a new Supertopo party..... The "team" color shall be green.
We might not agree, but at least we're not sociopaths encouraging or directly responsible for murder/genocide. It's a good start.

The article has data showing some crossover appeal. He is also no doubt repugnant to many potential crossover voters who are not willing to overlook his toxic personality and shallow understanding of issues. Nonetheless, the upshot of the article is to be very careful of making assumptions this year about Trump's strengths.
And btw, I'm not sure that sabotage voting for trump is as risky as the article implies. It's just an interesting read.

Interesting that the facts don't back that up at all.
But don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

"I'm not going to be PC" is code for "I lack empathy and I'm just going to be an ahole"
I think the election will be closer than many Dems believe, but Dem turnout will be high, especially among minorities, because Trump is so awful.

8 weeks now from having a titanium rod and screws put in my spine.
Trump can now include me with those twisted cripples he mocks.
But you will vote him won't you, because at least he is not a Democrat.
