There are “The Stupid Party partisans” who will always vote Republican. For these people have no principles other their their own self interest.
I left the Communist state of Texachusetts in 1980 and have never looked back.
Nothing new to see here, so just move along.
Then there are the rest of us small G’ment conservatives who do not see a reason to vote in this election.
The Republicans will need to get the “Valued” Independents to pull the lever for the Republican candidate in this race.
There was a guy named Geroge Clark, who was the GOP chair in Kings County (Brooklyn), New York.
Clark supported Ronald Reagan against Ford in the 1976 campaign. But the next year, there was a mayoral race in New York City and Clark supported a State Senator named Roy Goodman, who consistently ran on the Republican and Liberal parties, against talk show host Barry Farber, who had the Conservative Party nomination.
When Farber, in a speech, used the word "transmogrification", Clark (not politely) asked him what it meant.
"It means," Farber said, "for example, when someone supports Ronald Reagan one year and Roy Goodman the next."
Some of these people would vote for Stalin if he ran as a “Republican.”
