          But he ran for the democratic nomination. That distinction really doesn’t make any difference in this case. They successfully stopped him twice.

            It would internally to them and it did in the end. They just simply weren’t prepared to spend money on an independent and found a way to stop it.

            It’s a shame, he’d have made a good president and I don’t think Trump would have beaten him. We’d be looking at a different history and world by now.

        Though, I do hope that even the dullocrats now see that there needs to be a popular candidate to stop this ongoing fascism converging to literal Gilead…

        So maybe a different situation. It cannot end well for the US, when Trump has too long access to power or whatever spawn of hell follows…

        The hope is dieing at last.
