I respect your analysis, but point out that I did not say Rudy did, in fact, have the best chance of winning.
I was commenting on your previous post where you said that the reason some here support Rudy was because he "could win."
I was pointing out that winning is an appropriate factor to consider, but that it was wrong for you to conclude that was the only factor Rudy supporters were considering.
So your "questioning my wisdom" because, according to you, I "don't understand that its [sic] Rudy that has NO CHANCE of beating Hillary," is laughable b/c I have never ventured an opinion on whether Rudy coulda/woulda/shoulda beat the Hildebeast.
I have said, however, that if Republicans don't support the Republican nominee, and the Hildabeast is elected, some of the responsibility for her victory goes to those who refused to vote against her.
I understand the phenomenon of the "stay home" crowd. We disagree on what we think is "appealing" to the electorate at large.
But I still would like you to engage my questions I posed previously:
Do you see a difference between (1) voting for Hillary and (2) refusing to vote for her opponent?
I know you would say "no" so long as you claim there is no political difference between Hillary and her opponent, but that is not my question.
IOW, if you vote for Hillary, and she wins, are you responsible for perpetrating her upon the nation?
Then, if you don't vote for Hillary's opponent, and Hillary wins, are you responsible for perpetrating her upon the nation?
Again, please don't answer with "well, her opponent was just as bad, so it didn't matter." My question is, in the scenarios above, would you conclude that your vote/failure to vote helped cause Hillary's victory?
No I don't but you need to keep in mind that there are many millions of people who won't vote for Rudy and their reasoning doesn't get that far.
If all you see at the store is stale bread or moldy bread, you won't buy bread that day. That's the way many people think about voting "I see nothing on this ballot for me, maybe next time." There's nothing you or I can do about it short of nominating "fresh bread" for our ticket.
