    Because people who run 3rd party do not understand US Government and need to go back to civics class?

    No more excuses are necessary. The idiots and a-holes who vote for Trump would be the only excuse needed.

     Nope. If the Dems can’t run and beat this guy it’s yet another terrible failure. Trumps already ruined the Republican Party. If he beats the Dems 2x he will have ruined them too.  The run to the left is what could be the killer. I sure as hope they don’t elected a candidate so far left....but I bet they do. I still will vote for whoever I think can’t beat trump, my most important issue. But not everyone will.

    Yeah, I was living in Seattle when that charade was carried out.

    He sold them for $350 million.  10 Years later OKC is valued at $1.3 Billion.  I'm guessing if they stayed in Seattle they would be closer to $1.75 Billion.  But he couldn't get the taxpayers to build a new stadium so he threw a tantrum.

    I just disagree because literally ANYONE is better than Trump, so anyone who thinks "the Dem candidate isn't good enough", they're idiots, assholes, or both. Who the Dems run is neither here nor there IMO, as far as this point goes.

    Well I understand even though it’s tough for me to swallow. There are several Dems that would give me pause

    Sure, I don't blame you for feeling that.... But still they'd be better than Trump, right? At the very least, none of them are fucking senile and none of them answer to Putin, lol.

    Just when the team was on the cusp on potential greatness: Durant, Westbrook, and Harden... wow... could have been the best 'big three' of the modern era (I know they all weren't there in Seattle).

    I have no problem with him running but for me my problem is that he is wimping out on not running in a primary.  if he is that confident that the "silent majority" is not being represented by both parties than put that to the test and run in a primary.
