Good to hear, thanks. 31% seems like an aptly calculated percentage of voters who would vote for the Nutjob Party this year, as a bonus. Here's hoping.

...not to mention Nate Silver...I wouldn't listen to anyone at this point. They didn't see Trump coming, so why believe them now. Let's keep our guard up..all the way to the end.

Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)15. Republicans will take George H.W. Bush's advice : "Stay the course".
Until they hit the iceberg and wind up with about a 10% chance.
This year's GOP convention will look more like a KKK rally than a political convention.
And guess what, it will all be on teevee!!!!!!!
