    Those were criteria that every republican in the primary fit, including Jeb.

    There's another criteria. Make it socially acceptable to be racist again. None of the others quite scratched that itch.

    Absolutely, Trump is the perfect mark for a long play. I think that's partly because he's never heard "No," so he has no knack for end-arounds or setting traps. He has no ability as a navigator. Comey has spent his professional life under the sort of institutional restraints that force you to find new ways to maneuver. I don't think it's true, but I like to imagine he sat across from Trump in the Oval Office and thought, "I've waited my whole life to bring down a guy like him."

    There are really two questions here.
    1) If you could, would you switch your vote to another candidate? Nobody would take this one.
    2) If you could, would you rescind your vote? This would get a few takers. Rescinding vote means you would simply be a non-voter. You wouldn't be helping Trump, but you wouldn't be helping Clinton, either.

    You'd be helping Clinton.

    Amash wrote in Rand Paul in the election and bragged about it. He's a true believer libertarian and doesn't give a shit who knows it.

    I think you are missing "reverse any and everything of the last 8 years."

    Opposition draws eyeballs. Cheerleading loses them. Not just a right-wing phenomenon, I hasten to add.
