If they run someone far left with a gun control platform so restrictive that the SCOTUS might as well just start writing majority opinions now, they'll get 95% of that voting block. If they run someone more centrist, will the newly-minted electorate take the "anyone but Trump" approach, or will they line up behind a third-party socialist? And if the Democrats do run a socialist, what happens to the centrist voters who will have to hold their nose and try to pick the lesser of two very evils, and to the centrist voters who will attempt to declare their living room a sovereign nation, free of US and state laws?

I still don't get this sentiment.

Hillary Clinton is a murderer and probably conspired with a foreign government on many occasions for many purposes.

Donald Trump is the same in many ways, although he's never had anyone killed. He just wants to set this country back to the '50s. The 1850s.

They're both terrible. I wish George W. Bush could run for a third term, because I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. Not the best President and certainly manipulated and kept in the dark by his closest advisers, but a guy that you always felt was being honest and open as much as he could. When he went out and actually led the country following 9/11, he inspired more confidence than I've had in any other President since I was old enough to pay attention. When he fell back behind the influence of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove, he suffered for it. I wish we'd gotten to see Bush lead this country by himself, because I think he'd have been one of the best Presidents this country has ever seen.
