I’ve voted in every election since 1976, but if Trump is the nominee, I’ll likely sit this one out.

I will vote for the nominee, but my impetus will probably be to vote against Hillary instead of for the Republican nominee. Nothing is worse than a Hillary presidency.

After that last mudfight of a debate, the only person I could vote for tomorrow (and not feel like I’d need a shower afterward) would be Ben Carson. And he’s got no chance. So I may just skip it.

And so YOU should...but I bet you don’t. Sort of like all those who are moving to Canada.

“I’ve voted in every election since 1976, but if Trump is the nominee, I’ll likely sit this one out.”

That reaction was predicted months ago.

One of the historic truisms in the past several election cycles is the Cruz Coalition, as currently assembled, is the first to stay home when their candidate does not win. The socially-minded voter will never vote for a populist fiscal conservative/socially moderate candidate. Cruz voters, and their advocates, are emotionally driven by social issues. Hence they yell a lot (See Mark Levin) and only respond well to others who are inside their echo-chamber.

Consequently neither Rubio nor Trump will try to gain/court Cruz voters. Why should they; the narrow-minded group will never vote for them, if they vote at all.

This non-voting truism is why the GOPe ignore the Cruz-like factions completely; because rarely will the GOPe be influenced by them. When Cruz Clan get angry and do not get their way they do not vote.

The modern way to deal with that faction is to make them angry, and they leave. Example: Questioning eligibility sets them off easily and they lose control. They might even invite another sketchy character, Glenn Beck, to help showcase their entrenched ideological moonbattery. See how easy that is? More exposure to the crazy = less votes in crazy camp.

Both Trump and Rubio will most likely ignore Cruz, as neither stands to benefit much.

Good. Don’t want you spoiled brats anyway. You picked a loser. Deal with it. Provably voted for carter in 1976 anyway. Probably bashed Reagan in the 80’s for his liberal leaning as governor. You are transparent. Go cry to your mother. We’re sick of your nonstop pity party.

I didn't vote for Mitt because he was either a DECEIVED Mormon - lacking discernment; or he was a DECEIVING Mormon; who knows EXACTLY what his 'religion' is all about.

Upon what reasoning will you not vote for Donald?
