1. Oh yes he will...

Senator Grand Empty Gesture will run and then fold...

5. Agreed. He has the right last name. Whatever he says you can...

take it to the bank that he'll flake out on it in the end.

2. If any of these never-Trumpers really meant it

They would run as an Independent. This would come with the full knowledge that they were a spoiler and that both they and Trump would go down.

I don't think it will do any good to actually run in a Republican primary. The GOP has lost so many of it's sane voters to Independent status that the only ones left are loyal to Trump. Everyone else has left and typically won't be eligible to vote against him.

3. Who would vote for him?

He's obviously not liberal enough for the Dems and not extreme enough for the Trump party.

4. I think Flake, Corker and others are pushing Kasich to run

They don't want to compete with each other, like last time.

6. Jeff, don't be so bashful

7. Will be writing his book: Watch What I Do Not What I Say.

8. S'Okay, Jeff - I don't think I'll be voting for you even if you are . . .
