Not holding out for that brokered convention eh?

Two observations:

1) I was watching the C-SPAN coverage and counted six Democrat callers who said they were supporting Trump. I found that surprising. Is this a thing?

2) Christie looked pathetic standing there behind Trump, like he just couldn't remember where he'd left his testicles. It was sad.

It's probably hard for a guy that big to see them.

American stupidity is stunning.

I assume you won't go Green, so there's the Libertarians though they seem to be a bit more laissez faire than you generally espouse. https://ballotpedia.org/Libertarian_Party

They should certainly be on the ballot in New York; their candidate finished third here in 2012. http://www.politico.com/2012-election/results/president/new-york/

EDIT: Before taking that plunge you might consider that Nate Silver and the crew at 538 aren't convinced that Trump is a sure thing yet. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/elections-podcast-breaking-down-super-tuesday/?ex_cid=navlink

Yes, I read Nate's post. I prefer to be pessimistic and be pleasantly surprised later than to hang on to a dying hope like a withering flower.

Fortunately for me last night extinguished any hope for Bernie, so my unrealistic optimism only lasted a month or so before being crushed.

Man you'd swear he was Canadian...a left leaning Canadian anyway.

Carson's out. https://twitter.com/costareports/status/705108104304828416

Be interesting where his vote goes; Cruz seems ideologically closest but there's the bad blood because of the incident in Iowa where the Cruz campaign was spreading false rumors that the Doctor was already out to steal some votes.

Lindsey Graham has the answer, though he almost chokes on it:

If you're R and don't like Trump, that seems your only viable choice.
