He won't quit, will he? I don't think he will. They certainly should NOT get a fresh faced do-over

and
Source also says that RNC officials likely can't oust Trump from the ticket and that Trump would likely have to quit on his own.

Reid: "In the name of decency, Republicans should admit that this deviant - this sociopath - cannot be president."

"It's really no problem" So cute I fall right over.
HRC's tough interview with 11-Year-Old Marley Dias
SO sweet!
.....It turns out she's always been an activist. She's always wanted to make a difference.
I know, because I asked her! I emailed Hillary Clinton to find out what she was like when she was in middle school, why she loves her favorite books, and what happened when she got one really bad haircut. (I once cut off a big piece of my ponytail, so I know what it's like.)
She has shaped the way I think about my future, because so many of the qualities she has now are ones that I want to have when I get older. It makes me so excited that she could become our first woman president. If someone had to do it before I could, I'm happy that it will be her. It's really no problem.
Reading our interview, I think it's very obvious that Hillary Clinton can be deep and funny at the same time. Sometimes, we expect a woman like her to be really serious always, but I want people to understand that she can talk about deep issues and chocolate, and that's okay. She's a real personjust like I am, just like my mom is, just like you are. She's not just a presidential nominee. She's a friend. She's human! And her favorite black girl book is I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, which is an excellent choice......

Ralph Nader Supporters Warn Third-Party Voters: Don’t Make The Same Mistake!
.....But this cycle, Savage isnt even considering voting third party. Hes now an outspoken Hillary Clinton supporter and literally works for the establishment as Democratic Party chair of Washtenaw County in Michigan.
And he wants to make sure that disaffected voters know exactly what theyre doing in this election before they go pull the lever for a third-party candidate like Jill Stein of the Green Party or Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party.
I was somewhat uninformed and felt like there wasnt that big a difference between Gore and Bush, believe it or not, he said. Obviously, in retrospect, it was a moronic way to look at things......The Huffington Post spoke with Nader voters who have since figured out that the best way to fix the two-party system is to join it. Theyve worked in Democratic politics for years ― some as penance for what they did in 2000 ― and they worry that Stein voters are going to be making the same mistake they did with Nader.
If you think theres no difference between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, then youre not paying attention, said Joe Rospars, who was the chief digital strategist for both of Barack Obamas presidential campaigns and voted for Nader in Virginia when he was 19.....
Jesse Berney was 25 when he voted for Nader and has since worked at the Democratic National Committee and for Clintons 2008 campaign.
When asked if he regretted his vote, he replied, Of course! John Roberts and Samuel Alito, the Iraq war, the huge irresponsible tax breaks, the pushing of abstinence-only education. The list goes on and on.
........mucho mas...........

The quote is from noted HRC hater, Edward Klein.
She was defending bunnies in grade school, guys. Bunnies.
I love her.
"Good job, boys. This one will sink her for sure."
