I'll probably vote for Cruz or Rubio in the primary. In the general election I'd leave the ballot blank if it's Trump vs. Clinton (or Sanders). I don't want to make a nasty, arrogant blowhard like Trump the most powerful man in the world.

Oh, and I am not some part of the "political establishment", having never worked for a politician or think tank or been a politician.

‘I don’t want to make a nasty, arrogant blowhard like Trump the most powerful man in the world.’

Well, then you contributed to making a nasty arrogant blowhard like Hillary the most powerful woman in the world.

When that happens, kiss your liberties good, idiot!

Thank you NYT for your support. We all know how much you favor the Republican line so hearing from you in this way is heart warming indeed. /s

If I said I would vote for Trump I would by lying.

Some seem to want that to feed their fantasy that Trump is electable but they’ll be better off if they just rely heavily on democrats to support their guy.

“Mr. Trump has no desire to acquaint himself with most issues, let alone master them. He has admitted that he doesn’t prepare for debates or study briefing books; he believes such things get in the way of a good performance. No major presidential candidate has ever been quite as disdainful of knowledge, as indifferent to facts, as untroubled by his benightedness. “

Right!

He would not be found rearranging deck chairs on the Titantic......bigger fish to fry, etc!

Sheeeeeesh!

The New York Times is still full of All the News That Fits the Liberal Agenda. Staying home gave us BHO.

No vote? Then you will have abrogated your right to bitch about things as they are.

From the tone of his article, I would guess it would be “Whiner”...

I am sorry, but like the New York Times, you are just too sophisticated and nuanced, for me.

Just vote “present” like your Resident in Chief.

Peter Wehner, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, served in the last three Republican administrations

Peter Wehner is one of Bush's stooges who gets in the news by going after anyone the Bush family or other GOP Establishment types don't like. Last time I remember seeing his name is when he went after Mark Levin. He's a Bush/Compassionate Conservative Establishment type. If he will never vote for Trump, it makes me more likely to vote for Trump.

Yeah, but you do not seem to have a problem with illegals flooding the nation.

Hillary or Bernie would be so much better.

Thanks for playing.

If it is Cruz or Rubio, maybe I will leave the ballot blank because I want a natural born citizen for President, not another ineligible person with foreign ties.

You’re going to vote for Trump. You got no place to go.
