re: #255 EPR-radar

Yes, I think this is pretty much what Barro had in mind by saying that there are other mechanisms by which the Democratic party could rid itself of an unacceptable candidate or President.

I’m still really amazed that the GOP establishment (elected officials, party leaders, etc) haven’t turned on him. They’ve got one of their own in Pence, and they have to know, on some level, that their base isn’t actually going anywhere. Worst case scenario, the base stays home one cycle, Democrats win big, and the GOP base gets pissed off again and turns out the following cycle to stop the commie pinko libs from ruining Murka. They really don’t owe Trump anything - they lost ground in Congress with him on the ticket (six seats in the House, 2 in the Senate). They’d still have working majorities in both houses with Pence as president, and we’ve seen them ignore the idea of political capital when they control Congress and the White House… so it really just makes no sense to me.
