Unfortunate Fact:
Only 2 real choices, the R or the D. Like it always is. Trump is the R, Hillary is the D. You are supporting the D, by either not voting or voting for someone other than the only other candidate that can win, the R.
Because our elections are percentage based, as in 50+1 wins and not based on a given vote total say 100,000,000 to win. Where not voting might be effective.
Ross Perot gave us Bill and now Hillary.
So yeah if you do what you say, you are in effect supporting Hillary.
Another thing, not possible to know how Trump will govern, because we don’t know, but we do know Hillary, sure Trump is a risk, but please you really would rather have another 8 years of Obama/Hillary policy.
This country is and will continue to move toward the left, because of demographics, sometimes all we can do is attempt to slow the tide, but it’s worth a try.
Bring in a third brain cell, and reconsider.
In fact, 4 others in my family are doing the same and only one (my dad) is voting for T**** in November. We all have voted only republican until this November. We all live in Virginia, so our actions will have impact. If we lived in California or Idaho, it wouldn't matter at all.
T**** will give you Hillary and I will just wait until 2020. This is the consequence of not having a conservative at the head of the ticket.
In addition, I find your reasoning suspect. Basically, you are saying there is nothing we can do about any of this. We are helpless. So let's vote someone (T****) that will make us go down the tubes slightly slower. For one, I don't think T**** will slow anything down. As I have commented before, T**** has said that once elected he will be the most PC of anyone in the White House. I'm not a sucker and I don't find that acceptable.
At least we had the force of law to stand against it. BUT HEY, Donald can screw married women and support the “right” of some pervert to walk into a ladies’ room. He can do no wrong in the eyes of his minions. As Trump himself proclaimed, he could murder someone in broad daylight, and his followers would be undeterred. Sad.
I am fully aware of what I am doing, but it doesn’t matter to me. I find T**** supremely offensive in a number of ways. I will not vote for someone as offending as he.

Well you’re off the hook, looks like your Governor has joined with 200,000 VA felons in supporting Hillary, your vote won’t matter in this election of any other, ever.
VA, no longer purple, now fully a blue state.
I feel bad for your dad.
No wonder the Donald says it’s okay for men to use the women’s bathrooms. It’s for the man [like himself] in a hurry (and the space cadet)!
All they need to do is show the ad that was used against him in Wisconsin and then add others to it. Read his words and show his own behavior on tape is all they need. The only requirement to beat such a weak candidate as Hillary was to produce a credible opponent. The Republican party did not do so.
The way he changes his mind (because he is completely clueless) and the vast amount of what he doesn't know is breathtaking for a presidential candidate. I have no doubt you would be a more credible candidate than T****.
With Obama riding a wave of popularity (because of the lower oil prices, which is as ironic as can be), Hillary will have an easier time in November.
I think the odds of the democrats winning the Senate are high regardless of the candidate, but T**** will hand the chamber over to them without much of a whimper. The loss in November will be epic. Since so many are voting straight tickets, the top of the ticker is important, but no doubt the republicans will lose governorships, state chambers and the dog catcher at the bottom of the ticket.
To have 75% of females dislike T**** when females will make up 52% to 54% of the voters in November is a recipe for disaster. Like I stated, a lady at my office said T**** made her vomit. Kind of a strong dislike. I didn't ask, but I have to assume she is not voting for T****.
So when it is all over, the party will survive, but hopefully it will set the stage for a credible candidate in 2020.
I see, clearly a D cruising FR.
Why would I betray my conscience to vote for a dumb, lazy and unprincipled candidate?
I should have added that I clearly see a D cruising for the republican nomination.
Pretty clear on dislike for R’s, let’s hear your opinion some D’s.
I mean, I admit that it is one thing to huff and puff, but could I actually pull the lever for the b**** (which is the nicest thing I can say about her)? Probably not. Does this mean I have to wretch and vomit after I vote for Trump? Perhaps - there is not much of a choice.
I get his appeal, but we all know he is not conservative (which is part of his appeal for some), nor particularly knowledgeable - I know, he will hire people to do the details, but his governing will be full of potholes and disappointments. I don't expect a rigid conservative, but I do think, one day he will govern as a liberal, the next day his gut feeling will be moderate and then one day a week something conservative may happen by chance.
I think Hillary is extraordinarily weak, weaker than her current poll numbers indicate. After all, the general election hasn't begun and while they will use every negative and nasty thing Trump has ever said, Trump has 30 years of scandal, deceit and incompetence to use against her.
I have to add that, in January (I think), Hillary called Trump sexist, and I am sure you recall that Trump thundered back and called her out for enabling Bill and also for her help in destroying his many mistresses. It shut her up for awhile. That was a very satisfying episode. I am also aware that Cruz' response was that he does not engage in innuendo. Well, it's not innuendo, it's a fact. I was sorely disappointed in Cruz, so, we will see.
At least Trump will play the game the way the democrats do.
U r aware we will never again elect a conservative, today’s minorities are becoming tomorrows majorities. Collectivism not conservatism, The age of the “Greatest Americans” is ending.
Trump’s not fooling conservatives, it’s just this, those like me voting for him know he is the best and only candidate capable of winning this year that may address the only issues that matter, future and generational collectivist immigrants and Globalist trade deals.
He promises to control the border, slowing the waves of future and generational collectivist pouring over the border, and fix traded deals hurting American workers. No other candidate even recognizes or speaks to these, the most important issues, win in numbers, not issues. Issues we work out, without the majority in numbers, we lose it all.
Social issues are important but secondary. Just political drama for politicians who could really care less just use them to rile us up.
He said, she said from past or present, secondary, so what.
Trumps a risk, and a chance, but surrender, as you’re suggesting, guarantees defeat, and a much faster crash into an unimaginable collectivist state, not European style, think Soviet style, in 50 years; because what is Americanism, has stood nearly alone, opposed to it. When it dissolves which it surely will, as these new majorities began to win at the ballot box, there will be no country, or system to stand against it.
Collectivism is never satisfied.
This is the most important election in a generation, and probably the last chance we’ll have to make a difference, or maybe even need to vote, if Hillary wins.
Clearly you’re not a vacuous person and can see this.
Well, let's see...He is VERY well educate, oversees a multibillion dollar business enterprise, deals with sophisticated business people all over the world, has a personal net worth of about 18 billion dollars, is known, and for the most part, respected throughout the world....and you, no doubt equally successful call him dumb and lazy......PATHETIC.
