I don’t think simply not liking a candidate is a good enough reason not to vote, that is not reasonable when an election is as important as this one is.

I don’t think so, either. I believe in voting at every opportunity.

However, turnout will fall with a candidate for whom enthusiasm is low. Romney wasn’t actively disliked, but turnout fell. Trump is actively disliked. On the “upside,” Hillary is also actively disliked by many Democrats, and she generates less positive enthusiasm than Obama.

The election may come down to voter fraud in the cities. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Then you should have gone to that thread running today where the majority of Trumpers said they wouldn't vote for Cruz if he were the nominee. Saturday, numerous Cruz supporters were kicked off the site for saying they wouldn't vote for Trump. Interesting times around here.
