If Trump is not the Republican candidate, the Democrats don’t need a 3rd party; they will win again in a war of attrition because so many people will stay home and not vote.

No question about it. No other candidate can win back the White and Reagan Democrat vote. The White vote is ALL that matters in 2016, as it did in 2012 with a GOP that didn't get it, and made no effort to seek it.

Now, I wasn’t even a gleam in my parents’ eyes in 1980, by from what I heard, you could say that ‘courting the white vote’ is what Reagan did. But not because of racism, not because what’s important to the white voter is important to everyone else too. We’re not as different as we think we are.

I think this is one reason Dems want us Balkanized like we are becoming.
