I did about 40 years ago. I hope you all will forgive my youthful indiscretion.
Given the choice of Mark Kirk, Republican who voted the right way about 20% of the time, Tammy Duckworth, Democrat who would vote the right way about 1% of the time, since I couldn’t vote for either, I threw my vote away on a 3rd party candidate.
Swamp dwelling fraud little Marco? He is not qualified to pump out my septic tank.
I probably would have done the same, or just used the write in option
My Congressional district was redistricted in 2010, pitting senile Pete Stark against newcomer Eric Swalwell. Voting for Swalwell against Stark was a no-brainer. At the time, Swalwell was portraying himself as an "aw, shucks... my mom can't believe I'm a Congressman" kind of guy. Now, he's become a typical Democrat attack dog, the way that Anthony Weiner was in his first term.
I'm glad I moved away from California into a safely Republican state.

Under no circumstances.
I think that after the Democrat Party implodes (around 2020), the Republican party will split between Trump supporters and never-Trumpers. There will be some minor parties based on race and sexual perversion.
I voted for a Democrat once. I switched to the Democrat primary to vote for Claire McCaskill over Bob Holden. Biggest voting mistake of my life. Holden would have lost the general election anyway. That victory paved the way for Senator McCaskill.
“There once was a time in American history – in fact perhaps for the bulk of it..”
When America was still America. You could still have democrat friends and lovers.
Twice I voted for democrats. In 1984 for senator from Illinois I voted for Paul Simon (D) over Charles Percy (R), Percy had become a terrible RINO. Had voted for the cursed Gun Control Act of 1968 and had been pimping gun control ever since. Also, authored 55 mph speed limit. A thorough prick. Simon was somewhat unknown to me but I took a chance. Turned out to also be a prick. Simon won. Both of these worthies are long since croaked.
In 1998 I voted for Glenn Poshard (D) for Illinois governor over George Ryan (R). Ryan had promise but fell in with ultra corrupt “combine” the filthy Chicago controlled unholy alliance between democrats and republicans. As incumbent Lt. Gov., Ryan had spearheaded a push to ban “assault” weapons. Even went so far as to borrow full autos from Indiana State Police to make a TV ad on the dangers of semis! Poshard on the other hand was from southern Illinois, much more conservative and staunchly against gun control. Naturally, his own party and the “combine” went against him. He lost. Ryan went on as governor to ban capital punishment among other things. Also, went on to prison for 6 years due to filthy corruption.
I consider voting for a baby-killing Satanist to be equivalent to voting for myself to end up in Hell. Literally. There is no sin or no perversion that a ‘Rat will not first condone and then advocate for and then make mandatory.
Vote for them? I can smell the sulfur wafting up from the DemocRat column of the ballot!
Since the Democratic Party has now become nothing more than a front for the CPUSA, there is absolutely no way I will vote for a Democrat. If there is no Republican opponent, but there is a Libertarian opponent, I will vote for the Libertarian as a protest vote.
Potestas Democratorum delenda est.
Only when I’m dead and buried, apparently....
Only for some town offices.
If they could resurrect Scoop Jackson.
So technically yes, I have voted for a damned democrat.
Only if a Bush was running.
In 1976, I again supported Scoop Jackson in the Michigan primary. When he lost to Jimmy Carter, I voted for Gerald Ford in the general election.
By the next election sequence, I had moved to and was a resident of Texas. Since that time, I have never voted for a Democrat candidate at any level, whether in a primary or a general election.
never have and never will
Ditto here.
