They'd not only lose the presidency, they will have nominated the most liberal presidential candidate since Jimmy Carter.

Again, I give a damn WHAT he thinks, I care about what he does. And how many candidates in the field are even willing to pretend to get stuff right at this point?

I'm not sold on Trump,it's quite possible that there is no answer in the GOP field at all ... but he's one of the few who've gotten something that matters right even merely talking. It's at least possible that he's come to his senses on multiple issues instead of losing his mind on them as the trend seems to be.

Look, I'll be honest: I think the country is too far down the drain to save no matter who wins any election. But at least there's some miniscule hope this way.
