“...I will simply not vote as a way to protest the rigging...”
Which is perfectly acceptable to the Dem candidate. If they can’t get your vote, they would rather you stay home and at least not vote against them. You may feel “purer”, but it is a false succor. Like I said, you are playing right into their gameplan. There is no position you can take in that circumstance that does not contribute an advantage — however slight — to one of the candidates.
So we either get Cruz on the ticket -or- we are well and truly stuck.
Let the Dems run the country into the ground since they want to do that soooooo badly. Look at Detroit as an example.
Why do you think GOP-E Boehner stepped down with McConnell up next? People are tired of having the deck rigged. Oust every collectivist in Congress.
