Re: I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.

The Wikipedia page is brand new, as you can see it is all sourced from today and yesterday, but I am glad it's there so the Branch Trumpidians know who they are trolling.
As I suspected. But I never let facts interfere with snark.

My comment about his international adoption was solely a comment about the alt-right and Trump supporters. If you deal in #NeverTrump on Twitter, you see the dregs of society, which have exposed the seedy underbelly of what ostensibly used to be "my side". Sometimes I have to acknowledge how much "my side" sucks and how we probably deserve Trump happening to us.
It's no one group's significant fault. He's our collective fault. Depending on where you are, you assisted or enabled, at least in some small fashion, the mix of stupidity, bigotry, and economic desperation that allowed Trump to succeed.

I no longer consider myself a Republican, of course, but I enthusiastically could cast a vote for French with a clean conscience.
I could except for the fact that he's Kristol's candidate. Bill Kristol is a neocon who'd rather elect Hillary than Trump. He doesn't care about libertarian ideals, and he's the furthest thing from a conservative. He's a radical who thinks we should inflict democracy on other around the world at gunpoint. Frankly, he, Wolfowitz, and Cheney should be considered quasi-criminal elements, not unlike Nixon. But far worse.

French is a decent guy, but he's brought to us by one of the most indecent, intellectually bankrupt people on the political scene. As much as I loathed Cruz, I'd elect him emperor before I'd allow a person like Bill Kristol near the levers of executive power.

I know him running would likely cause Hillary to win, but I would sooner that than bow down to a con man who swore I would support him after he pretty much destroyed everything I believed in.
You can vote for him with a clear conscience. He's going to poll about as well as LaRouche in this cycle. The guys who might fuck things up for Trump are Johnson and Weld. They could cause some issues in a very close race. But then, that's assuming it's a very close race. Once Bernie is out and half or more of his followers switch to Hillary, I think you'll see decidedly different polls. Trump is a day late and many dimes short in terms of organization and funding.
