So despite the fact that I live in a state that is so solid blue as to be off the spectrum and my vote won’t count for anything, if I say that I am absolutely not going to vote for Trump in the general because..... (whatever reason) that I should be zotted?

I frankly admire people who stand on principle even when I believe they are wrong. The last time I violated my pro-life principles was when I voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger for Governor.

I have to answer to God for that mistake.

If Donald Trump wavers on his pro-life stand, or otherwise starts showing that he is not the conservative that we have been told he is, then no, I will not vote for him.

If that gets me zotted, then so be it. I expect the man that I vote for to be principled and solid. My vote (for all it is worth) is sacred. Donald Trump will have to earn my vote.

“then no, I will not vote for him.”

There is one thing that is not being discussed here. How would Ted Cruz change if he won the primary? Do you think he would stick with all his positions?

He would have to soften his stance on abortion to even have a 10% chance to win Florida; not just because of that, but because of his far right platform. Personally, I don’t think he could change enough at all to win FL.

He would have to change his rhetoric on abolishing 5 Departments and 25 agencies to win Virginia.

If he wouldn’t change, he wouldn’t win FL and VA and he would lose the election.
