******************
This campaign season has been a rough one. When Fred dropped out, it was quite a disappointment to his supporters.
I've thought about writing in Fred's name in the primary, but have concluded that would not be a wise strategy.
Not all RINOs are created equal. I intend to vote in the primary for the best RINO remaining.
I was never convinced about Thompson in the first place. When his name first started popping up on FR a couple of years ago, a lot of people were merely projecting their beliefs onto him; he was a blank slate for people to color in as they pleased.
He didn’t show me much during the campaign, and certainly did not seem like a better conservative than Duncan Hunter.
Both men are out, and you’re right, it’s not wise to write Thompson—or anyone else—in. May as well scribble in Mickey Mouse, Xenu, or Barry Bonds.
