but even if he were rash enough to run for president in '16 and it would take a lightning strike for him to win a single primary, never in my wildest dreams do I want him on the ticket. I can absolutely adore all sorts of people, but I'm only going to vote for one kind - the candidate with the greater chance of moving America forward in the best direction. Step by step, inch by inch if that's what it takes. That's why all the charming and tempting siren calls for a third party fall on such deaf ears.
