Well, when the choices are sit it out, go third party or vote for the Democrat, what are you going to do? If there was a credible third party campaign being mounted at the time, I might have gone that route but there wasn’t.
Perot gave us 26 years of clinton.
Cant do third party. Emotions are high now, but history speaks stronger.
On another note, I do happen to know - second hand - some of Cruz's Texas team. Their goal has always been for Ted to be VP. I heard about this about four months ago.
And again, that sounded good until Ted pulled this.
