RJ is an attorney. By nature, attorneys argue. They are also trained to argue lost causes. (How do you defend Charles Manson, especially after he carves a swastika into his forehead?)
Trail lawyers never admit defeat, rather they search for some straw to grasp for a basis for an appeal. That's what I'm seeing here. Trump beat him in the Court of Presidential Primaries. RJ now wants to either 1.) see a contested convention overturn this or 2.) see Trump fail for his own vindictive self satisfaction.
In his world, everybody that didn't back his choice are idiots and fools and should be condemned to the hell of having the Earth led by Hillary Clinton. In my world, my guy had zero charisma, so it's time to make lemonade out of lemons and save the World from Hillary and her pack of Flying Monkeys.
At this point, it should be our #1 goal to stop Hillary. We are like a ship on fire, the USS Forestal all over again. . You could say McCain started this one too by losing to Obama, if you want to be a smartass about it. Hillary is 1000 tons of JP3 and Avgas to add to the fire. I need the fire put out and DON'T CARE WHO THE FIREMAN IS!
Put out the fire and I'll find a way to get back to port and make repairs.
RJ - this is your alternative to Trump. There is no one else. No Ron, Rand or Rudolf to save you. Is Hillary what you want?
