Too many Republicans say that, if a Republican votes for a third-party candidate, that voter will split the anti-Hillary vote, helping her win. That’s usually not correct. Because of the electoral college, it depends on the state in which that voter lives.

The Democrat will easily win IL (my state), CA, OR, WA, MN, NJ, MA, and CT. The Republican will easily win TX, AZ, UT, KS, GA, WV, TN, and OK. In all of those 16 states, conservatives can vote for third-party candidates, knowing that they won’t help split the anti-Democrat vote, helping the Democrat win those states with less than a majority of that state’s popular vote. I’ll vote for Darrell Castle, of the Constitution Party. Many of the other states are swing states. In all of the swing states, I hope all anti-democrat voters will cooperate and vote for the republican nominee.

It seems the majority of Utahans (Mormons) are in a lemming like trance and will follow Romney off the cliff should he endorse a 3rd party candidate. So Trump will likely need to make up those elecotral votes elesewhere.

I respectfully disagree. If Hillary’s “super-delegates “ stay bought — Donald can defeat her in several of those states. This is one of trump’s most important assets — he attracts support from a far far greater number of people than g Op -e types can. This places “d” states into contention. If we all vote for him -——imho a vote for anyone else would only help put hitlery in the WH.
