On one hand, you have one party trying everything they can to keep a certain business turd from getting the nomination and he just keeps winning.
On the other hand, you have the opposite party handing the nomination to an evil witch.
My hope is the republicans go to a contested convention, pick someone other than Trump, and he chooses to run 3rd party. Then you have Sanders running as an independent giving us 4 choices in the election.

I think that they should all be able to run. Let Hillary run as the Democratic, Bernie as a Socialist-Democratic (although he'd have to come up with a new name, a good number of people live in fear of the S or C words) Cruz/Kasisch as the Republic and Trump as the whatever political party he'd fall under (neo-fascist? He'd be in the same boat as Bernie then)
Have an election, if no one secures more than 50% of the popular vote, take the two highest percent and have runoff election.
On that note, can anyone enlighten me on why we need the electoral college still?
