Is he running

Also I'm not sure I really believe in independent voters. If they exist there's not enough of them to count on, but I've seen all of the "Independent Voters" focus groups featured during presidential debates and they always seem to be "Independently Leftists"

More people registered as independent than democrat or republican. About evenly split on which way they lean.

why would dems switch their vote from dem to an independent Republican to prevent a republican from winning? that doesn't make any sense.

It makes a lot of sense.

The reality is after the election they are gonna have a Republican representative. The wise thing to do would be to choose the less crazy one.

oh, I See! you were talking about Wyoming. I thought you were talking about running for president, because she said she is considering it.

I don't care who runs for Prez as long as they have a transgender dog named " It" who can fart Jingle Bells. I'm very Progressive.

Liz has stated her #1 goal is to keep Trump out of the White House.
She was comparing herself to Lincoln in her concession speech last night
She will run for president, but has a less than zero chance of winning the nomination.
The Dem's have no place for her in their tent.
I'm guessing she will run as a RHINO third party candidate.
The Dem's will give her millions to help her do this, but will drop her like a hot turd come election day
Nobody likes a traitor and their only goal is to split the republican vote
She will never be president, but the Dem's can and will continue to use her like the useful idiot she is.

clearly, that person would not be qualified to run for president. Everyone knows that jingle bells is a patriarchal construct designed to look like a white male's anatomy and anyone would hold to animal servitude by owning a dog is unworthy of the office itself.

Oh! and farts are bad for the climate.

She won't get nominated, so using her to split the R vote wouldn't be an issue. Or am I missing something?

I've heard she voted with the Repugs 97% of the time. She's a hardcore Repug so I don't think she's a fit for the Forward party.

Really her only "crime" as  a representative is she didn't drink the koolaid and join the cult. She's a little too patriotic for the Republican base. The base won't have anybody putting country over Trump.

Prefrontal cortex?

Only on Wednesdays.

Wait...that's today!

Dem powerbrokers will not tolerate a left leaning third party. It will be strangled in it's crib 

[Jim at Gentex]

Dem powerbrokers will not tolerate a left leaning third party. It will be strangled in it's crib 

Just as Republican power brokers won't tolerate a right leaning third party.

Forward Party, Tea Party, doesn't matter what you call it.
The two-party system wants to stay a two-party system, and they will both just keep shifting the balance of power back and forth every few years to make it look like it is legit.

Two shitty ends of the same shitty stick...

Let's not forget that the IRS suppressed the Tea Party's ability to raise money via corrupt and illegal audits
and intimidation tactics
