No, no, NO! Clinton is the best candidate to reassure the election of Trump in 2020. She was bad then. Why do you you think she's any better now? She won the popular vote. You talk as if it was a landslide. Trump had a lot of things that fell in place for him that won't happen ever again. Russian b...

Jump to postwhat you say makes no sense. Maybe what I said makes no sense, but that's the way it is. Your scenarios jump into the legislative session; you skipped the part about getting elected. If you can do that, you're home free. If you can do that. And a Libertarian getting elected president? Yea, right.

Jump to postSaltee one question? Show me exactly where in the Constitution it says anything about Two Party system, or any political parties for that matter?

Which is exactly why the two party system needs to be blown up completely.
