Rob Horowitz, adjunct professor of political science at the University of Rhode Island, writes here that if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, it is plausible that a strong candidate will run outside the two major parties.

Another possibility–a big vote for the Libertarian, Green, and Constitution Parties.
About getting a DEMAGOGUE Prez elected by about 25 percent of the total voters ???
Think INSTANT CIVIL W-A-R.
I.E. 1860-1861 x about 1,000.

The article, perhaps whimsically, suggests Colin Powell as that “strong” candidate.
I would welcome the opportunity to hear the general asked some pointed questions about his presentation to the U.N. Security Council of our government’s justification of its invasion of Iraq.
“General – did you really believe the shit you were shoveling that day?”
“General – is it true that as you previewed the presentation at Langley you threw your hands up and said ‘This is all bullshit?'”
“General – do you know you could have snorted the powder you claimed was ricin and not even broken out into a light rash?”
“General – are you accustomed to accepting without reservation the intel provided by ‘unnamed human sources’ such as ‘Curveball’ – a person the Germans considered a psychopathic liar, and begged us not to treat as credible?”
“General – do YOU know where the WMD’s went? Does ‘W’ have them?”
“General – how did you feel about the Vice President’s office coordinating an effort to out Valerie Plame as a warning to others like her husband who might have been inclined to blow the whistle on people like you, who sold this country a three trillion dollar bill of goods? Was that your idea?”
“General – How did it feel to be used like a sock puppet?”
Yeah…I’d like that a lot. Run, Colin, run!
But – any bets on the questions being asked? Answered if asked?
You are obviously a neo-Confederate racist pig!
New Age top generals are ALL robot hacks — since 7 Dec 1941.
Quite possible total doom for the USA in any serious WAR — with Russia, China, etc.
Casual –
You saw right through me. You’re amazing!
