“I want a republican in the Oval Office. PERIOD.”
I’ve been sold out enough times that I don’t value the party label. If there was a pro-life, pro-religion, pro-traditional marriage, low taxes, small government democrat... I would consider voting for them. Problem is, the “party of tolerance” won’t tolerate any of that.
And now the republican party is fighting against that group too. Are you loyal to the party or the issues? Pragmatic choices to win elections is one thing. Elevating those choices to be the actual goal rather than the principled issues... is not ok. This isn’t a sports game where a win is a win... If the republican candidate doesn’t further our cause, and poisons the well for a future conservative candidate to make headway... then they were indeed worse than nothing.
You betcha.
I want a REPUBLICAN in the Oval Office.
You can continue with your pipe dream of a third party. Presidential elections are between a republican and a democrat. You can hope for the democrat.
Fight your battles during the primaries.
But, I really do suspect that the MAJORITY of you attacking me for wanting a REPUBLICAN to win, as opposed to a democrat, don’t even bother.............
So, you continue to work for the democrat.
I will continue to work to elect the REPUBLICAN nominee.
