It is a guarantee, so why set yourself up for disappointment. You will have to choose who best fits with your philosophy among the candidates running. You don’t have any other viable choices that don’t place votes where they don’t belong. The dems want to turn the world upside down, yesterday, why desire the same of the Republican Party when they have a platform that I would bet pretty much conforms to what you desire. That the individual candidates don’t exactly adhere to party platforms, is another issue.
