I've left the GOP and registered again as Independent voter.
I voted Trump at the top of the ballot and voted Libertarian down the ballot in protest at the Republican Party's sabotage of our nominee and collusion to elect Hillary.
Voted NO on major propositions, tax increases and to kick out all incumbent judges.
Was a great feeling and a good early vote here this afternoon for me in my rural Colorado county.
What’s the point when the GOP is determined to throw the election?
They never answered the question about stopping Hillary.
GOP seems resigned to her become President.
At this point I wonder, regardless of whether or not Trump wins, what difference does it make to keep them around.
Those that Vote Trump at the top, but otherwise below, be mindful that a Trump prez and ‘Rat Sinate means we likely get a ‘Rat SCOTUS.
I have no illusions about Trump.
But if Hillary gets in, we’ll never have another Republican President.
For me, that fact alone more than makes up for all his shortcomings.
I got my ballot today too. In my area there were lots of Supreme Court judges and appellate court judges. I don’t know them from a hole in the ground so I went online and looked to see who appointed them, and a little about each one. Then made my selections. Our local election was sad. Absolutely nobody running except for republicans. We have the choice of the only candidate running, or a write in. All were incumbents, so talk about insuring the good ole boys club!
We got our ballots a couple of days ago.
I voted “yes” to remove archaic language from the state constitution.
I voted “no” to allow Independent voters to participate in party primaries.
When Trump wins then the battle begins. Trump will need to go over Congress like Reagan did and talk directly to the America people who will then force their congressman or congresswoman to vote.
Agreed
I have to say...forgot to mention...this ballot was really weird to me. Clinton’s name was at the very top, then all the other candidates, and lastly, Trump. On every ballot I’ve only ever seen the Democrat and Republican listed first, then the others.
In a way, I liked how it was done because there was NO excuse to confuse the vote. It was one of those fill in the oval types so at least it was designed so that nobody could say...I meant to vote for Hillary and lost my place...whatever. Also, you had to read through the list to see the others before getting to Trump.
On the other hand, why was Hillary listed First and not Trump?
This is a work in progress, but I have a list of those who voted for gun control in the last few years. Please pass it around.

If you have any curiosity about who to vote for, look up who their, “Friends,” are on Facebook, or call them. Their phone numbers are on the Colorado General Assembly’s website.
Of course, the people listed above didn’t seem to care if you called them when they were frantically busy passing laws in violation of your constitutionally protected civil rights.
If it was up to the media, Hillary would already be President.
In voting for Trump, I showed them my middle finger.
Thank God I still live in a country where I, with millions of my fellow Americans, have the last word.
I don't want Trump elected to accomplish anything substantial. I want him to win so that he leaves the White House vacant, spends most of his time in New York City, and doesn't do anything as president except just the basic things that are needed to govern a country. The only noteworthy Federal initiatives I want to see from him are: (1) to make the national identity of this country actually mean something again by closing the border and deporting as many illegal aliens as possible, and (2) stopping this bullsh!t where the U.S. military has been sold off to serve as mercenaries for governments and corporations all over the world.
If your vote for the "liberal-itarian" causus the (R) - who Trump can work with - to lose and the (D) to win - who Trump can't work with -- we can credit you and your self-important "Never (R)'s" for the gridlock and strangulation of conservative progress that Trump could lead, because you chose to burn the village to save it.
It's that same self-important "Perot-ista" style logic that gave us Bill Clinton in 1992, because people like you were gonna stick it to GHWB while patting your self-righteous self on the back for not directly voting for the (D).
I blame all the Perot-voting idiots of 1992 for the causal reason that we have Hillary the witch to deal with in 2016.
Hopefully no one else at FR will be as self-righteously stupid on down ballot races as you just admitted you were.
I have no problem with you voting for Trump. Just be careful what you wish for if you have Trump in the White House and a Democratic Congress.
None of them live in Chaffee, where I live.
We don’t have gun-grabbing politicians in our red county.
I voted in Eureka, Illinois (President Reagan’s home town) today for Trump. Now if only the Cubs win the World Series, my life would be complete!!!!
I wrote in Kelli Ward. McCain is awful but Flake is the worst. Sure hope someone primaries Flake in 2018. Flake doesn’t have even one redeeming quality.
He still need the senate to confirm his supreme court judges!!!
Now you know why the polls show so D+6 in polls, and a strong lead with independents in the same polls. You are not the only person to do that and that is why it is dangerous to assume the polls showing more Democrats than Republicans are wrong.
