I never abstain. I will either decide which of the primary also-rand was IMO the best choice and vote for that person or write someone in. If Hillary! wins against a Jeb or Rick Perry, so be it. Thats on the idiots that couldn’t get their act together to put up a conservative. Just as obama is on the idiots that couldn’t get their act together and put up Romney.
I am under one obligation. Vote for who I feel is best for the country. Not piss away that country on a ‘winning’ liberal. We all are. Unfortunately the only obligation most feel in that regard is shining the spine width yellow stripe on their back for all to see. And defending it 2 years after the fact.
So, how does it feel to lose nomination in every presidential election? Your candidate did not win in 2008 & 2012. And it looks likely your candidate won’t win nomination in 2016. After Reagan in 1984, only RINO’s have won nominations. I feel your pain!
