Tried and true british axiom : divide and conquer. Jesus : a divided house can not stand. Republican Conservative pouting and petulance is just what the bad guys are hoping for, perhaps their only LITTLE RAY of hope...
Another truth - the lesser evil is still evil.
If the 'Pubbies want my vote they have to give me someone worth voting for.
Or they have to give me enough of a distinction in the platforms to make the other candidate worth voting against.
Unfortunately, the 'Pubbies are looking more and more like the Democrats I used to vote against in 1980's. I voted against 'em then, I'll vote against 'em now.
