Like my mom, you mean? An 83-year-old lifelong active Republican who, for the
first time in her life, declined to vote Republican at the top of the ticket (though she voted Republican downticket)? You really think she didn't agonize over that decision? Do you
really think she did it to "send a message"? Or like me, who after more than 35 years of voting straight Republican in every single election, for the first time voted third party at the top of the ticket? You are so shallow that you think this was about "sending a message"?
You've got a lot to learn about lines in the sand, principle, conservatism, the value of being a Republican, and the difference between compromise and capitulation.
Sounds like you are hiding behind your Mom.
That is up to you. I really don't think you have anything to say to me that is worth listening to.
