to govern?

let's cut to that chase, shall we?

if the answer is no, then that's suicidal politics. count me out.

i have volunteered and donated to liberal candidates and Democrats all my adult life, but any third party that actively runs against the Democratic party, cannot get my support.

and if they can't get mine, game is over.
