There is a moderate Republican who could quiet things down..but

the idiots would never get behind...her, yes her, .... Susan Collins
She has been around about 25 years.
Intelligent.
From the eastern part of the U.S.
Independent minded
Non controversial ...
Would Unify Republicans who want to be unified
Not associated with Bush/Cheney
Appears to be very "honest",... vs liar Hitler Trump, and Looney Tune Cruz

would prevent a whole lot of violence and hate

While this is totally unlikely, impossible and absurd..a moderate, intelligent person, a woman, and long history of this, and pehaps most important....honest, not lying..could save that party of imploding and hurting the entire country through that
implosion..........

...who knows what radical shit will come out of the implosion?...what if there are riots, and many people hurt or killed?...the country could turn to Trump, or worse..someone worse....Cruz...or a Cruz like person..who could be anyone..even a Democrat (yes that is hard to believe)...a Cruz like Democrat..?? anything can happen.. that is why picking Collins could happen if intelligence prevails..

but that does not look like it is possible now, but maybe....???????????????
