Why should I vote for someone who does not share one of my biggest core values?

Because if you don't, you'll end up with someone who shares NONE of your values. If you only vote for candidates who you are in agreement with on 100% of the issues, you might as well burn your voter registration card now, because you will never use it again.

But at what point do you compromise your beliefs for temporary expediency? I am a Christian. Christians have, since the first century, viewed abortion as murder. By voting for a candidate who is pro abortion I am voting for a candidate that is pro murder.

I compromise all the time in the candidates that I support. In tax, economic, and foreign policy, you pick the best one.

But this is something so fundamental, I can't compromise. For once you start, where do you stop? At what point does the GOP just become the DNC light?

Don't hit me with the "the other guy is worse!" argument. That is a campaign on emotion. Run on the issues, because if you keep screaming "THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER! DON'T LET THE DNC WIN!" while selling out those like me who have values, don't be surprised if we stop trusting you. In short, you are saying that you would vote for Hillary if she had an (R) by her name.
