I do wish that side of the GOP were let out more.

(3,051 posts)Huckster (and Santorum) were in the race to try to divide the evangelical vote so as to clear the field for Jeb.
This failed and, if anything, they drew from Rubio (who is the Uniparty's current choice if they can't get Jeb or Hillary).
I am kind of surprised there wasn't a green-party type to try to hack into Bernie and divide that vote.
The RNC is better organized in that regard than the DNC.
