Now that makes a lot more sense to me than sitting out an election like a pouty kid because your first choice didn’t make the cut. In my estimation, a vote not cast is one for your worst nightmare. I was taught that my vote is precious because it’s mine, and NOT casting it is a slap in the face to the people who have died giving me the right to cast it any way I choose.
That includes not voting for the democrat if Ryan gets past the primary. Just setting out does nothing except give you the right to say, well I didn't vote for him." You didn't vote against him either.
