Crazy idea: why don't we stop the madman who's running for President? [View all]

I was a Bernie fan but now I'm a do whatever I gotta do to prevent the catastrophe that a Trump Presidency would release on civilization Fan

We can argue about the past, ideals, hypotheticals, or we can wake up and not get caught with our pants down.

I really don't want Trump. Doing anything at this point aside from voting for Hillary, does not aid in preventing a Trump presidency. A vote for a Green or Libertarian or any other protest nonsense does not work to prevent, thus enables the Hell of Trump.

Shut up, grow up, suck it up, get in line and support the single best way to defeat Trump.
(The Repukes arent going to sit on the sidelines or waste their votes.)

Ok, so guess its a safe assumption that you are not sure about your support MichiganVote Jul 2016 #26
Not a safe assumption at all. Baseless, in fact, but again, it's not your concern. merrily Jul 2016 #27

The OP said nothing about stopping Trump *from* running for president. TwilightZone Jul 2016 #14
"Aside from voting." So how? I'd really like the Op to explain what the OP meant by that. merrily Jul 2016 #15
I think that perhaps you're misreading it. TwilightZone Jul 2016 #19
No doubt, the branded pretense will be the additional explanation would add relevance and context. LanternWaste Jul 2016 #57

I asked the Op to clarify. He or she did and got thanked. Please rant at someone else. merrily Jul 2016 #34

So following your thoughts, isn't it unwise for Sanders to address the convention MichiganVote Jul 2016 #49
