Tell yourself whatever you want. Vote number 3 will never win and takes a vote away from vote 1. That means 1 vote less than Obama will have to beat.
The majority of your party has spoken. Stop acting like a spoiled little child. That’s what the democrats did in 2000 and it got Bush elected.. thankfully over Gore.
You want to do the opposite go right ahead.. but don’t think you accomplished anything other than helping the democrats.
The GOP is not and has never been “my” party, and I don’t care what the majority of any party says. Voting 3 does not take a vote from anyone and doesn’t give votes to anyone except 3.
