Why bring them up? Why worry about them? Why give them air time?

I was in the parking lot of a grocery store on vacation in a northeastern state, and there was a guy with a "No Labels" t-shirt and a clipboard. I assume it was a voter registration effort or something, but I sure hope he was getting paid whatever his time was worth, because I can't imagine "grassroots" support for this nonsense.

by their standards. (“The Republicans are bad, but the Democrats are worse. But we’re better than both of them.”)

Money on the table, they’ll run RFK, Jr., not Joe Manchin. (Joe’s expecting a pay-off more than RFK, Jr.)

independents or Democrats.

There is some polling data showing that a ticket with Manchin and Huntsman takes about 7 points away from Trump, and only a couple from Biden. But then, that's an obscure poll with a low record of accuracy.

If the Trump campaign can run false front, third party candidacies, why can't Democrats do the same?
