except republicans are willing to call out the moral failings of their candidates. Democrats seem fine with the moral failings of their candidates and yet offended by the failings of republican candidates.

Is it something that Republicans should be proud of? If they really care the moral issue about Trump, they would do something to stop him long ago. Trump has not changed since day 1. He is who he is. Republicans took the gamble and thought he would become a better man.

To me, some republicans stood firm with their points by not supporting Trump from the beginning. Many of them start to jump off the wagon today.

Ohhhh, gotcha. Donald Trump seems to be the quintessence of morality...

feel free to show me where I said anything like that. I have said since day one I oppose him as a candidate and won't vote for him.

Yet, the party has elected him as their candidate for highest office. So much for calling out amorality. Hell, his VP might be the biggest dbag there is when it comes to pushing his morality through policy.

so, basically you are refusing to address my point and just trying to push something back. I will take that as evidence that my statement was accurate.

This man would destroy Hillary Clinton. If he ever chose to run for President he would have my vote in a heartbeat.

No, you're missing my point:

Republicans like to push their morality on others through policy, yet republicans have chosen one of the least moral people to represent their party in a bid for the highest office.

What you do/believe/whatever is inconsequential to my point. Facts are facts. Repubs love their version of morality. Repubs are somehow allowing their party be represented by a completely amoral piece of garbage.

At the same time, there are good number of Democrats who will not vote for Hillary.

This presidential election seems to be the best thing to happen to 3rd parties in the last 100+ years.

Remember Ross Perot? He did really well seemingly out of nowhere. Above 10% which is an achievement.

An accomplishment to be sure, but no staying power. I think this election will give Libertarians and other 3rd parties some actual ability to stick around.

With a lot of help from the media and democrats. Without them he would not have lasted through the first month. It probably would have been Kasich on Rubio had the media not controlled the outcome. Either would have been a landslide winner and the democrats knew that from the beginning.

So the media and democrats chose Trump now? WTH is wrong with people. The GOP voted him in NO ONE ELSE.

Stop blaming others for your members choices.
