Will you vote for the Republican nominee if it isn't your first choice candidate?
1.) Yes
2.) No
3.) Hell yes I will.
What has that remark got to do with anything????
This fight has gotten nasty and Cruz is giving as good as he’s getting. I’m done with it though. I like Donald Trump. I have my reasons. I don’t care for Jeb. I have my reasons. I’ll vote for the nominee whoever it is. Guaranteed. I have my reasons.
Emphatically yes!
I’d have to...Yes.
I get flamed every time I say so, but I prefer Rubio. However, it’s primarily because I think he’s a conservative, at least as much as Trump, but also that he could get elected. He would pummel Hillary in a debate, as would Cruz.
I see qualities in Trump where I think his best attribute is his determination. I don’t know why he doesn’t just say “If you think I’m a remarkable businessman, you should elect me to represent you at all the deals our country faces. I have a way of winning, and I will be working on your behalf” That’s his strongest argument.
Ted Cruz, to me, is Scalia-esque in his conservatism, in my opinion, and I would be happy to see him in the office. I do think he’s a bit of a grandstander, and can be a little snarky. I worry mostly about his broad appeal, and ability to pull independents. Trump will thrive with that group, and likely pull in some democrats, while he’ll lose some conservatives.
I see Rubio as less of a gamble than Trump, who really doesn’t articulate his plans, and Cruz, who will repel segments of the country that, like it or not, we now need to get into the white house. I hate that I get called GOPe or liberal by some on this board for thinking so. But, whatever.
For me, Kasich and Carson are dead last, nice guys who would get handled by the Dems, even if they were elected. And, Bush, who I believe is a decent man from a decent family, is a complete no-go. I’d sorely want to skip voting altogether if he’s the pick. If only as a protest against dynasty families, who have proven they’d go along with way too many liberal plans. But alas, Hillary or Bernie cannot be left to pick Scalia’s replacement, if we don’t already have one by then.
Yes, I will provided it is not Bush, in which case I will vote for the 3rd party. Like Hillary, Bush has demonstrated his willingness to standby and let innocent people die for the sake of politic expediency. If Bush is the nominee, the only moral choice is a third party candidate. Otherwise, absolutely, I will vote for the nominee.
I assure you, the only moral choice is to vote for the candidate that has the best chance of beating the democrat when the time comes. I don't think Bush will be a problem at this point however (and we can thank Donald Trump for that BTW).
I voted for McCain. I voted for Romney. But if Trump is the nominee, I may have to be sedated and driven to the polls by a keeper.
But, yeah, I guess so.
If the candidate isn’t an open borders slug, yes.
If they are an open borders slug, probably not.
Rubio and Bush need not apply.
I agree.
The president doesn’t write the laws, he only signs off on them.
I can’t wait to vote for the Republican whoever it is. They will be a thousand times better than the Democrat. I would like to see Trump and Cruz unite.
The policies of a candidate plays more of a role in that candidate’s support than the party. Unless you are a party bot above all else.
Hell yes I will. Even if it requires me to down a fifth of Jack.
He also promotes policy.
If it is an open borders slug, they had better include patriotic indignation in their math.
And, no, the lack of foresight in their calculations is absolutely not the fault of their base voters they are screwing over.
Read some of the posts in this thread and you will see quite a few retards.
Congress writes the laws. If there is guilt to be assigned, they should be looked at first and foremost.
So you would vote for an open borders slug because you can blame the republican congress. Good to know.
I know the feeling. If Ted gets the nod, I will need at least a fifth and a ride to the polling place.
You bet your ass I will.
