Yep. I’ll hold my nose and vote for Grimes. The first time I will have voted for a democrat since 1972. Putting the R’s in charge of both houses is a very high priority. Cleaning out the GOP is a higher priority.
First things first.
If more people vote for the more liberal candidate, you believe the GOP will take that as a voter preference for more conservative candidates?
The time to make that push is in the primary. I can understand withholding the vote in the general election, but voting for the most liberal is not making your point, in my opinion.
If conservatives farther down the ticket in smaller local elections get more votes than the RINO's near the top, it may help to convey the "No RINO" point.
David Patterson is on the ballot. Libertarian candidate from Harrodsburg, KY.
