Theoretically, you could have run in the Republican primary if you had wanted to. Nobody at the RNC would have assisted you, of course, but nobody could have stopped you from trying.
I'm sure that's right. However, if a child molester ran as a Democrat, they could and would publically denounce and delegitimize. It may be largely ceremonious but would be quite effective. I do find it fascinating that both Bernie and Trump have amped up their public disgust and criticism of their respective parties. The voters in this country really will put up with some glorious bullshit.

I've come to the conclusion that just about everyone I have ever known does the same thing. It's like nails on a blackboard. I've taken to correcting anyone who does it.

From the way that Christie stands just behind Trump with an expression of almost dog like devotion on his face it seems to me that Trump has already given him the nod as his running mate

Millennial here, girlfriend is sitting this one out because she can't bring herself to vote for Trump or Clinton now Bernie is out, but says it won't be the worst thing in the world if she wakes up and Trump had beat her.

Personally, if I had a vote, now that Bernie is gone it would be for Trump. As I don't get a vote this time around, I'll resort to making the best case I can to those who do, I guess.

Basically, speaking for ourselves only here, we couldn't give a shit. We know good and well that the thieving piece of corporate plastic that is Hillary Clinton doesn't care a shred about us, and is a filthy statist to boot. I'm pretty sure Trump cares not a jot either, but frankly at this point the memory of her face the day she loses will get me through 4 years of anything.

Yes ma'am.

Let's call it a side effect of the world you built! Nah I'm sure your personal part is little to none, but just because Hillary is good for you, does NOT mean she is good for me, sorry. Unless... do you know what is best for me? What am I saying, of course you do. It's what makes the left so endearing.

You know nothing about my views. But then trolls like you don't care anyway. Enjoy your Adolf Trump if he gets elected.

Gah, I thought I could get through a whole day without being Godwin'd by a hysterical liberal, but alas, it isn't to be.

Also trolling requires me to be insincere in my views and acting primarily with the intent to get a reaction, neither of which is true.

I'll be sure to drink to you in November if he wins though!

I happen to have both liberal and conservative views. Because that is rational. I have occasionally voted Republican in the past. If Trump wins you can drink to all the constitutional violations he espouses or the increase in racist acts and intolerance on the part of his neo nazi white supremisist followers. Now bugger off.

Well, good for you. Thing is, I don't give a shit about your voting record, your views, what you think of me or my views, nada. I'm just here telling you Hillary is a Grade A waste of space, and the idea that millennials are heading out in force to vote for her is fanciful because I have only met people my age who say its Bernie or they arent bothering to show up.

And for the record, the Democrats have spent 8 years shitting on the Constitution, and Shillary is ready to finish wiping up with it. Constitutional righteousness is not ground that either party can really claim these days.

Alright, buggering off now.

Unless I missed something, nobody has ever suggested that the millennials are voting for Hillary in force.
