Gee, Mary, who would have thought you would ever desert the GOP?

*  Let's see. She has supported Dole, both Bushes, McCain, and Romney. The list of the out-of-touch and losers continues to grow.
*  We've been here before, Mary Matalin's just jaded with Romney losing and Trump, the wacko,ascending in the GOP. Having listened to her rhetoric over the years, a never Hilary she could have said about any Democrat. The fact is the two candidates are flawed, everyone knows it and we are going to choose between them. Even in the past when it was someone we really liked they disappointed too in some way. Get over it and pick the least objectionable which is what 21st century elections are all about. The problem with Libertarians is like the Tea Party they are too ideological to be practical enough to run anything. I think its good Matalin has found a hobby in her old age.
*  Not at all, Mary Matalin is a disenchanted GOP operative and apparently got pushed out along with the Republican establishment this cycle. For her sour grapes, the two party system is falling apart which, of course, it is not. We don't have the best choices, but it will be one of the two in the end.
*  ... The Democratic Party was far more split before the 2008 Convention, and came together. By August, I expect they will do that again. Bernie was never expected to win, or even do this well. Once it becomes official that he hasn't won, life will go on largely as before.
*  Trump is an unhinged quack, there are not enough poorly educated trailer trash supporters of Trump to make a Trump presidency a reality, the right owns that mentally ill moron.
*   Is stopping the 2 party system important to you? If so check out No More 2 Party System

Mary Matalin: '2-party system is ready to fall'
By Kristen East, May 29, 2016

Longtime Republican strategist Mary Matalin — who registered as a Libertarian earlier this month — said this weekend that “the two-party system is ready to fall."

Her comment came as she wrote in National Review that she is supporting Austin Petersen for the Libertarian Party’s nomination. She wrote that she believes he is “the man who can lead independents, Libertarians, and disaffected members of the two major parties to victory.”

The Libertarian Party held its national convention this weekend in Orlando, Florida, and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson secured the party's nomination.

Writing before Johnson was nominated, Matalin said the time is ripe “for a new majority political party to rise.”

“For many Americans — as is evidenced by its exponential recent growth — that common-sense alternative is the Libertarian Party," she wrote.

Earlier this month, when Matalin switched her party registration, she said she was “a never Hillary” and “a provisional Trump.”
