    2) Nominate Cruz to replace Scalia on the SCOTUS
    3) Pick a VP with solid conservative credentials like Carson or Rubio
    You forgot:

    4) Cure for cancer
    5) Everlasting peace in the middle east
    6) Perpetual motion machine.

    Which, by the way, are all things that will happen before Trump becomes president.

    Hope you all are ready for Hillary.

    If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.

    And if you would like to know how that turned out for Hamilton (and Adams), here's a bit of history (watch for the repeat):

    http://www.presidentprofiles.com/Was...n-of-1800.html
    By now Hamilton was determined to end Adams' political career, regardless of the consequences to the Federalist party. He wrote, "If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." He urged Pickering to gather as he left office any material in the archives that could be used against Adams. From Wolcott he also sought "the facts which denote unfitness in Mr. Adams."

    In July, Hamilton abandoned his plans for military conquest and returned to his law practice. He advised his followers to manipulate the electoral votes in their states so that the Federalist vice presidential candidate, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, would receive more votes than Adams and thus be elected president. His final stroke in this campaign marked the conclusion of his decline from brilliant statesman to bungling, vindictive politician. Against the advice of his closest supporters, he wrote and printed the Letter . . . Concerning the Public Conduct and Character of John Adams . Ostensibly prepared only for private circulation, the Letter somehow reached the press, and Hamilton then published it as a pamphlet. For nearly fifty pages, he reviewed the "great and intrinsic defects" in Adams that rendered him "unfit" for the presidency. The Letter had little apparent effect on the outcome of the election, and numerous replies from men of both parties applauded Adams' refusal to bend to the will of the former secretary.

    Maybe Vice President Biden could challenge Trump to a duel. I hear Weehawken, NJ is a lovely place for such things.

    Anyone think the Senate will move to confirm Garland to SCOTUS before the election to prevent an HRC nominee?

    Well, that's pretty disingenuous.

    Just because you think both candidates are horrible and do not deserve your personal endorsement doesn't mean you endorse one side or the other. Jeeez.

    I used to buy into the Mike Rosen "party trumps person" mantra but I'm so far away from that now.
