It won't. This is going to happen WHENEVER a R is POTUS. Maybe not this bad, but every time whether deserved or not. Unless a strong independent/moderate from either side comes along and can unite us, the Progressives are going to move left and the right will dig in. I hope it is not too late but I think we missed our chance.

Quite the opposite me thinks. The current divide sets things up very nicely for an independent to run right down the middle and win. Especially if it is something like Warren v Trump, with Bloomberg as an independent. Might not be the case if President Pence is running for re-election though. I'm just sayin'.

So, none of those would be anywhere near my first choice, but since you are always mr. positive, name a candidate you would support for potus. Not hold your nose for, but actually support

If I’m not mistaken the last election garnered the most votes for a libertarian candidate.

Right now, I cannot think of a current politician, moderate, that I could vote for
