"Reliable Sources" are reporting that an "independent candidate" is being prepared to run with the objective of providing a well funded alternative to Donald Trump that could be on the ballot in maybe 20-some states.  The objective being to give Republicans an alternative vote for  instead of Trump. 

Wow.  But strange and contrary to the basis of the two party system.  This reminds me of the point of view put forth when the US invaded Iraq.  Once you start something, you don't know where it will take you.  Some alternatives of screwing with the basic system could be Gary Johnson or Jill Stein as President or the election thrown into the House of Representatives.

Republicans need to do what they should - vote for Clinton or stay home.  Deal with Trump - he is simply unacceptable to the security of the USA.
