A conservative should not stay home in protest if it means that a lib such as Clinton or Sanders wins.
Vote pro Constitution and anti invader. Anything else is just personal preference.
If the so-called conservatives had not stayed home in the general elections of 2008 and 2012 that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania would have never been elected or reelected
How a conservative should vote:
1. Study RINOubio’s voting record.
2. Don’t do that.
How is Trump any different from Sanders?
How is Rubio any different from Hillary?
A conservative should vote for the most conservative person with a chance of winning who also has the best chance of successfully implementing conservative policies.
These are the reasons why:
If you vote for someone who can’t win, you achieved nothing.
If you vote for someone who can win, but wont be able to (for whatever reason) be able to successfully implement conservative policies, you achieved nothing.
Shouldn’t a Conservative vote for a Conservative?
I live in colorado, my primary vote means jack and squat....
We would also have amnesty, and the 2013 gun control bill would today be law.
At this point the real question is:
How should an AMERICAN vote?
Long gone are the days that ideological differences matter, our country is going down the toilet, led by the Uni-party.
I want someone that will put AMERICA first.
There, fixed it.
Yes Trump is campaigning as a populist yahoo, but Cruz is no "workhorse" and his pro-H1B/TPP/TPA views would leave Kirk unimpressed.
Kirk might vote his conscience in the primaries, even if that meant a write-in vote. He then would most likely go on to vote for whomever the Republicans put forth.
He might hope that no candidate would have sufficient votes at the convention, and a consensus candidate would be put forth preferable to both Trump and Cruz.
Who knows.
Now that Bush is out I can almost see voting for any of the five remaining candidates. Yes even Kasich or Rubio. However pathetic, they are much better than Mittens, McLame, or Dole.
At least they occasionally pretend to be conservative.
If elected, they might on occasion accidentally govern that way.
or a patient, practiced, constitutionally-guided, but principled mover-and-shaker like Cruz?
I mean... I don’t understand the complete lack of reality in gushing overtures like this. Ted Cruz has been mealy-mouthed on a couple of important votes about issues that matter a lot, and on the eve of a caucus he’s had to issue another apology for spreading false information.
I get liking him the most, but all I ever see in these pleas to vote for Ted are a bunch of lofty praise that goes above and beyond reality in ways that are just too over-the-top.
Not if he cannot will the general election
I will vote for
Fix immigration
Fix the economy
Fix the military
Not just spend money on it
Are you still posting this crap from your Mother's basement?
Trump supports border security, trade, and defeating Islamists. That's 720 degrees away from Sanders.
How? Pencil, lever, whatever it takes.
Hillary/Sanders are more liberal than Trump (and I am no Trump fan), and MUCH more liberal than Rubio or Kasich.
Don’t kid yourself - that’s exactly as liberals see it, which is why they will vote for Clinton/Sanders over any Republican.
If I can promise to vote for Trump, you can promise to vote for Rubio/Kasich.
All of us will like the outcome better than any Dem, unless, of course, you’ve liked the past 7 years, which I have not.
If Trump is elected he will have unchecked executive power. Hillary would have a cloud over her and congress would more likely to oppose her. Not so with Trump, he would be able to implement his big-government initiatives with little resistance. This makes Trump much more dangerous.
If the Dems win this one... the next presidential election will be packed with 40 million additional new Democrat voting citizens. The country has reached the point where all the marbles are now on the line. Even if we win this one... 20 trillion chickens are out there waiting to come home to roost. We are now looking over the precipice.
