"We must defeat Trump"

If that were the objective, America would have selected Sanders as the nominee since he's better able to beat Hair Trumpenfuhrer.

But the truth is, defeating Trump is secondary to "first woman President" (no matter how terrible for the middle class and dishonest she is).

And representative government for the masses and stopping TPP? Where is that on this list?

I will not be playing the "forsake all of your principles and vote for a dishonest warmongering Third Way corporate shill" game.

He's getting into the self-destruction mode with the MSM. But his flock seems to remain as strong as ever. I'm not sure the media can turn this ship around fast enough to give it to Clinton.

What we've seen in the past week is Trump at his best, riding high, the choice of the GOP.

Yes, it's important to defeat Trump.
