Sir, I have a dilemma...Rob Portman is the Republican running for reelection to the United States Senate here in Ohio. Portman is in the list of Republican Senators who have pulled support from Trump. I was about to put Portman yard signs out along the road here, but did not do so. I have Trump/Pence signs there.
My question to you...should I vote for Portman, or not vote for Senator here in this election? There is no way I would vote for Ted Strickland, his Dim opponent.
The solution to your dilemma...
1. If you don't vote for the "R" down ballot, you're helping the "D" get elected -- even if you vote for a third party "I".
2. If Trump is going to get anything lasting accomplished, he must have the cooperation of Congress.
3. There is no chance that a Democrat Congress will cooperate with Trump. A Republican Congress is far more likely to do Trump's bidding...if grudgingly.
4. Accordingly, if we want Trump to succeed, we're obliged to vote for the "R" -- as distasteful as that might be.
5. A more satisfying resolution may be sought in the next primary...
Save your signs because Portman may well pull another bonehead head stunt. Don’t expose your ideology before all the dust has settled.
If your vote has no effect, reconsider what you hope your vote accomplishes.
