Well, you can still go to the precinct and vote for a few down-ballot candidates if they are any good, which could be questionable too. The Republican primary voters just repeatedly leave us flat. Their lack of knowledge is shocking, but they know how to make money.
Actually, I cast my last ballot in 2012. There was an election in my home state of Virginia in 2013, which I passed up, knowing that the liberals, concentrated in northern Virginia, have captured this state. And sure enough, the Democrats got the governorship, courtesy of the lowlifes in the counties surrounding Washington. Now, they have all the statewide offices, including both senators.
If the Republicans cannot win the big ones, I’m not concerned about what happens down-ballot. Sure, you could make a good case about why I should be concerned but I’m not. Illogical? Sure! But emotionally I’m moved toward just indifference at this point. I’m old and have no children, and thus there’s nothing personal in it for me.
The only thing that could get off my duff would be the nomination of Cruz for president. Nobody else, and particularly Rand Paul, whom I think is a closet liberal posing as a conservative.
