I'm right there with you needle, 38 years as a registered Democrat and I am exploring the options. While I am not throwing my direct support to Mr. Trump I most certainly, and in specific terms, will not vote for the vile Hillary Rodham Clinton. Never, her and her crew are responsible for the downfall of our party.
I will watch the election and debates and make my decision to either vote for Mr. Trump or not based on the information that I receive.
Edit: left out the "not" in front of the "vote for Hillary..." What was I thinking, I not even drunk (yet)

I guess I need to make it clear that I did not write this article (which is why I put quotation marks around the title). I had hoped by putting quotation marks around it it'd indicate I was not the author (who used the word "I" in the title). Sorry for any confusion!

#DemExit is a bad name. Why not #DeMparture or #DEMtach? #Brexit worked because it made a good sounding word, trying to put exit on the end of everything else is just clunky.

It's a fantastic meme, wtf. Perfectly timed too
Not really, it doesn't flow off the tongue easily.
We're not talking about naming the high school dance here. Anything works for this cause.
Wut? First you say it's a fantastic meme, then you say you don't need any of the "meme" qualities because anything will work? No, you need something that catches people's attention, is easy to say and repeat and latches into the mind. Marketing of an idea like this is crucial, that's why Brexit worked. DemExit is terrible.

If JFK were here to see the current Democrat Party, he wouldn't recognize it.

Not sure this person knows what a "lifer" is.

I am in a similar position. I am a lefty, who would never vote for Hillery. For a while I thought I would vote Trump, since his platform seems to be one of moderation, world stability, and focusing on building up the US.
But the more I think about it the more I believe it is more important to break the two party system than to strategically vote.
I hope Trump wins. But if I was allowed to vote, it would go to Jill. She has displayed more integrity and honesty than any of the other candidates. Her values also come fairly close to mine.

Yes, that's why diehard people on the Left really shouldn't worry about him so much. He was a Democrat for years (longer than he's been a registered Republican).
