  • Can we all just stipulate right now that any independent run is a long shot? Seems like it goes without saying, but obviously not.

      An independent can't win, but an independent can change the outcome.

      Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

        Delusion and desperation make powerful bed-mates.

        • I hope Trump isn't stupid enough to make light of the Silver Back Gorilla being killed at the Zoo where a four year old fell into the Gorilla's area. Already over 100,000 signatures condemning the killing(per what I heard on the radio) and calls for the mother to be charged in the incident.

          At what point did the left start convincing people that humans were on the same level as other species on the earth. What kind of chance does Trump have of providing more water to Farmers in California by getting rid of some small fishies. My guess is the majority on here favor the small fishies.

                        Makes me laugh how people make statements like that with confidence in this election cycle. I wonder what JiC would have thought about Trump winning the nomination a year ago.

                        Would be nice to have a strong independent candidate in case Trump and Hillary have some sort of major misstep down the road. Don't laugh, it could happen.

                          I've been talking to friends on both sides about their discontent. The Bernie people hate Hillary almost as much as those on the right. While I think ideologically strange, several of them would entertain voting for Romney if he were the third party candidate. There are even those that think they missed the boat on Romney last election and would entertain him has a candidate given the current choices.

                            Yeah, remember Romney's "gaffes" last time? They seem awfully quaint now, don't they?

                              For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                              Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
