... and it couldn't happen soon enough for all of us!

I saw a post yesterday on DU, even Mitt Romney is signalling that he's ready to bail on this fiasco. Chump will be gone even before winter hits. I'm guessing either Chump will outright resign (soon) or he'll sit back and watch another right-winger receive the nod in the GOP primary run.

Whoever runs for president for the GOP is wasting his time, they'll just put out a sacrificial lamb. Remember George McGovern in 1972? They'll put up a candidate even weaker than McGovern, I'm thinking. Mitt Romney won't want to lose again, I'm sure. Maybe Rand Paul or Ted Cruz? I don't know & don't care.
