Oh my, put forward on CNN Don Lemon's show......

A Democratic Presidential candidate with a “normal” Republican as Vice Presidential candidate to defeat tRump and his band of insane followers!!!!!! That could be something to block tRump getting in again. Kind of interesting.

We need a gop to win. Pa-leeze. This guy is handing us the presidency in 2020. Don't go getting chicken shit. WE have the best people to reconstruct the mess.

A normal republican is a person who holds political beliefs that are not consistent with Democratic Party ideas. Example: funding social security and Medicare, public schools, and affordable healthcare.

for one thing the VP cast the deciding vote in the Senate if there is a deadlock. Why would we want a Republican VP and whose idea was that.

I dont think this is necessary to win, but this would be 100X better than where we are now.

They're not as batshit crazy as Trump Republicans, but we still don't want one.

Simply being a Repub is not enough for Trumpers to support someone since they are now attacking Repubs who question or criticize Trump.

THAT would be a glorious, delightful victory- to see him fail to win the GOP nomination in 2020.

That's something nobody in the MSM is talking about, nobody is polling about...wonder why?

We'll know soon enough, about 7 months from now, if he'll have an opponent for the nomination.
