Political Red Rover

When I was a kid we played the game Red Rover where two lines of kids faced each other and yelled, "Red Rover, Red Rover send Billy or Sally, someone from the other side over. I don't really remember how you won the game. My point is if I'm standing in my line of Americans facing the Repug lineup for President and playing Red Rover and said, Red Stater, Red Stater send over your biggest Democrat hater," Who would they send?

I think it would be either Carnival Cruise or Huckleberry.

I'm afraid that in this case the stakes are much higher.....

In red rover, if the person from the opposing team fails to break through your line, they join your line.

I don't even want to think about any of those candidates joining our party.
