Well, we have been telling the early states to vote their conscience. I don’t think anything has changed. I can’t vote for any of the other candidates. So why not vote for Fred. It does not matter who wins the Republican primary. They are all bad, in different ways. And none of them will win in the general election.
Personally I don’t understand why people think politics is an all or nothing game. Every political decision involves relative choices and compromise. A Reagan only comes along once in a lifetime, the rest of the time we make the best choices we can based on what’s before us. Do you have the perfect job, the perfect car, the perfect spouse? No, there’s always something potentially better, but you make the best choices you can based on what’s available to you. This is true in life, and it’s certainly true in politics.
Well, I know it's not possible, but I'm hoping they all lose. :)
I agree with you on all of this for the last part, which is actually the SCARIEST thing, to me -- that ANY of them could win in the general election because the Democrat candidates are the weakest that party has had in decades. Overestimating Hillary was STUPID STUPID STUPID and has resulted in a Republican primary field so horrific that many of us are just turning our backs on the whole thing. Republicans can have the Stupid Party. I don't want it anymore.
