Well it was 19% of the vote. If the GOPe pulls this kind of $hit and they find a candidate that can peel away even 10% say hello to President HRC...

I think that you're missing my point. You have fringe third party candidates in every election, most of them are lucky to get close to 1%. Nobody pays attention to third parties unless the D and R candidates are so unacceptable that the only decent alternative to not voting is a third party sideshow. If George H.W. Bush wasn't such a disappointing President, Perot would have gotten <1% of the vote rather than almost 20.

Furthermore, it's hard for me to get worked up over Clinton beating Bush in 1992 since on matters of policy (esp. domestic economic policy) they were virtually indistinguishable. Bush campaigned in 1988 as Reagan's heir but governed to the left of Nelson Rockefeller.

The only prominent GOP politician who I think would be stupid enough to pull this stunt is Lindsey Graham. He'd get the vote of the editorial staff of the Weekly Standard and National Review, and perhaps a few of his siblings or cousins if he bribes them.

....If Hillary makes it to the finishing line, the way things are going in the Dems camp between Hillary and Bernie. It is civil war now for them.
