The result may be the same, electing Clinton. There are only two viable likely candidates, Clinton and Trump. Choose one.

Reminds me of my twin boys, tell them they have choice between chocolate and vanilla ice cream, they say strawberry and get none.

There is no viable third party, picking one is simply a cop out to not choose between the two choices before us.

That's like the moronic accusation against those who refused to vote for Romney in 2012: it's not that they were to blame, it was that Romney-as-candidate didn't give them anything to vote for. It was always "vote against Obama" awhich didn't work because he was really (politically speaking) Obama's clone. And, if you remember the sentiment of the time, Romney was one of very few people that could have lost to Obama.

You're falling into the false choice fallacy WRT to American elections — it is not two parties and only two parties.

There is no viable third party, picking one is simply a cop out to not choose between the two choices before us.

That stance is actually very, very repugnant: for you are telling people that their vote only counts on some condition, namely that their vote does not matter unless approved by one of the "two" parties.

As this Republican primary has shown, the powers-that-be were quite intent on stacking the deck with people that they approved of. Trump's candidacy/run has indeed upset that; but that doesn't negate the fact that virtually everyone on the slate would have been acceptable to the corrupt and globalist GOPe. (Carson was the only one who I think was not morally/ethically compromised; but he didn't present himself as strong, candidate-wise, and they probably thought they could push him around.) Cruz, by his running, showed how he disregards the Constitution and there's evidence that he's in the globalist camp.

This win doesn't mean that Trump will be the Republican nominee — the GOPe has shown us their true colors, and how they will fight tooth-and-nail against Trump, which means they could pull something out of their arses and flat-out deny Trump the nomination. It would piss a lot of people off, but they've shown that they don't care about the people. (Indeed, given the actions of the congress, the executive, and the judicial it saams that they are ever more convinced that the law does not apply to them but only us.)
