My guess is that the Republicans are in a similar place as us, but for different reasons: they, too, do not see "their" candidate on the ballot. I think it was obvious that most of the traditional Republican Party types were backing Rubio and Cruz. Now they're being expected to endorse the guy who insulted them and their families, who accused the last GOP President of failing to stop 9/11 (while hanging out with people who think he was in on it), who mocked one of the last GOP nominees for being captured and tortured by communist guerrillas in Vietnam, and who spent much of his time in the orbit of the Clintons. On the other hand, they have Clinton, who they and their party machine have spent decades painting as a Communist (if only!). So I would not put too much stock into who the Republicans end up endorsing, whether Clinton, Trump, Johnson or nobody. They are in panic mode as their party collapses. I really think we should spend less time discussing the same stuff over and over about Clinton and Trump and more time discussing what a long-term strategy after November looks like. It seems that most of you have resigned yourselves to voting Green. I am doing the same, but A) I don't live in a state where it matters and B) that is only a ritual I do every 4 years, it's not much of a plan. Perhaps we should discuss that instead. - Amith _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
