Conservative legend and icon Thomas Sowell warns that Trump could be another Herbert Hoover and discredit conservative ideas for decades, while ushering in another era of unbridled liberalism.

He said the only “slim chance” we have at avoiding this is a third party candidate:

    What was once feared most by the Republican establishment — a third party candidate for president — may represent the only slim chance for saving this country from a catastrophic administration in an age of proliferating nuclear weapons.

    If a third-party candidate could divide the vote enough to prevent anyone from getting an electoral-college majority, that would throw the election into the House of Representatives, where any semblance of sanity could produce a better president than these two.

Wonder how much he was paid to say this? Levin was only million and a family member working for Cruz. Eriksson was 3 million, Beck is still pulling it in.

Trump is for America First.

Patriotism can't be bought.  Sowell is a great Amercan.   Trump is a cancer.

Don't malign everybody like your angry orangutan.  Nobody's paying Sowell except the syndicators of his column.

Its a fair assumption, 3rd party means Hillary. #neverTrump is Billionaire far left and GOPe both trying to get the democrat elected. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/aei-world-forum-donald-trump_us_56ddbd38e4b0ffe6f8ea125d

Its also been the pattern seen so far, either left wing sources or what was once thought conservative sources sold out putting out garbage like this hoping to elect the democrat.

Where are all these millions coming from you speak of? Don't say the RNC, because they are slowly rallying around him.

He was paid whatever it is he receives from the syndication of his column, since the OP's source
linked to it as it was published at National Review's Website:

Finally...someone gets to the nub of the problem with today's conservatives!

Well done, Thomas!   :thumbsup2:

Why does it not surprise me that a trumpansie would use a Huffpro link to buttress it's argument?

Now , onto substance.  I am for an independent Conservative candidate... who? While I would prefer Cruz, or Sasse I just do not see it happening.

How about Colonel Allen West. Very smart war hero with impeccable Conservative limited government cred.... Tea Party cred. Imagine Mr West with the backing of the Cruz machine..along with the rest of the Tea Party.

Trump is a disaster.  Why he carries the "conservative" label is beyond me.  He is not even close.  As for 3rd party, I don't know but am willing to listen.

He does that because part of his job is to DESTROY conservatism!

The Substance was the FACTS of far Left Mega billionaires working with the GOPe to create #neverTrump and then paying Surrogates like Levin, Erickson, Beck etc as well as an online army of trolls to to write #neverTrump propaganda to protect their Globalist empire.

Speaking of being owned by left...far far left billionaires..... Sorro's..I thought you were speaking of Soros himself.

As to substance of this thread.. It is who would make a Great American Independent Tea Party Candidate this year.

I still think war Hero Colonel Allen West would do just fine.  All he has to do is win a few States..and the House can dump the Sorros Clinton/Trump unity ticket.
