I'm with Adder. If Trump loses big, I would prefer Hillary have a solid mandate from which to actually govern (given the fact that she's sure to face obstruction on par with what Obama experienced, if not more given the current climate). But if the split is: Hillary wins, Johnson pulls big from Trump, and Trump is completely humiliated, I'll take it all day, every day.

Hell, I want Trump to lose big because I want the GOP to decide it has to try something very different.

They absolutely have to try to be the latinx party, but I have no frickin clue how they could accomplish that, especially after the Trump Storm.

It's the NSFW version of the latino party.

No, their version of what to be next will be even scarier. Secessionist perhaps? Radical states' rights? Calling for a constitutional convention? Establishment of a whites-only homeland?

I was told by a lobbyist type from Austin that a Constitutional Convention is a very high priority on Governor Abbot's to-do list next year.

isn't there a gender neutral plural? in Italian it likely would end in an i. I'm just saying, ignorance of their language is a specie of hate, perhaps not as bad as suggesting a physical wall be built, but your indifference is a wall just the same.

They hate the constitution. It gets in the way of so much of their agenda.

But all the things on my list are ideas bumping around on the right, and some have buy-in from some of the lunatics they've elected to congress.

That's what the Trumpists will do. What will the Paul Ryan's and Reince Priebus's do?

And which of those teams will Ted Cruz join? (I suspect SEC will not like the answer)
