I didn’t vote for Bush in the 2000 Republican primary.

Once it became only choice between Bush and Gore there was only one possible choice - which I don’t regret making. Gore would have been far worse.

So it is what it is. That’s life.

Thanks for a measured response. There is too little of that here on FR. I will support a conservative, or the closest approximation to it, in the primary, but I will not let RINO status keep me from voting GOP in the fall against the dem libs.

It is one thing to refuse an offer of two lesser choices if the end game is nothing (e.g., would you rather have liver or onion flavored ice cream— refuse both and have nothing), but where, as here, we WILL have someone in the White House, I’ll take the onion over the liver every time, and wince as each bite goes down.

That’s how I justified my vote as well.
Bush has been a disappointment but he was the lesser of the two non-choices.
