1. Looks like there might be several 3rd, 4th and 5th political party candidates.

Gonna get messy.

2. 30 pieces of silver ?

3. A lot of political consultants are in it for the money

Who can blame them?

10. A lot of people who want to see Trump beaten will blame them ! Now is the time to stand up, and

anyone with any Democratic allegiance, seen to be getting in the way of the Democratic Nominee for 2020 should be ostracised. There is little difference between that and an amoral Republican asshole like Manafort, imo. It's not as if there won't be enough Dem Candidates !!!

11. Yep

Can't argue with any of that!

4. WTF is wrong with these people?????????????? Ego over country????????????

5. Or perhaps money over everything

6. Yes, I'm sure that must be it.

7. I'm not so sure

Perhaps he is a true believer in what Schultz is all about. I honestly don't know enough about the players to make a definitive assessment. I certainly do appreciate the lure of a big payday, however, and would not be surprised if money did not at least pay some significant role.

8. Okay.

9. Do you know more about Bill Burton?

If so, I'd be curious to get your take.
