He vowed to “do everything I can to make sure Donald Trump is defeated.”

news. It was pretty obvious for me.

Are we totally stupid and inept that this was a question.

Frankly, I think the media (MSM or not) are at a state of non-professionalism that put democracy at risk.

And, this morning, everybody was talking about Trump's words about Brexit as if they were important (without of course noting that he did not the facts right initially and implied that Scotland voted for Brexit).

is to officially (and effusively) endorse Clinton, release his delegates, and actively campaign FOR her. Anything short of that is very weak tea indeed. And to me, unacceptable.

This is serious, folks. And we can't have any half measures in the effort to defeat this charlatan in November. Let Brexit be a warning. The unthinkable is possible.
