No1, tell me about some good third parties...
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.

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.
Originally posted by SleepyguyIf you're R and don't like Trump, that seems your only viable choice.
Lindsey Graham has the answer, though he almost chokes on it:
