I would rather not vote if my choice is a Rep who attacks the base. It may be my only way to unseat a incumbent. Gone are the days of just pulling the lever because it is the lesser of two evils.

Yep, I’m with you. I’d gladly suffer six years of some Democrat dimwit if it removes Mitch McConnell from the Senate.

Obama/Reid/Pelosi/Durbin/Schumer/... are thanking you for that.

Not for me. Gaining a majority in the Senate is way, way, way more important than going to bed feeling good that you have "sent a message".

I think it is well known around here that there is nobody home to read that message. The GOP management is, no doubt, terrible. But they managed to provide Obamacare exactly ZERO votes. That's nothing to sneeze at. And they are better than the Dems by far.

It looks to me like you are wasting your time and your vote. If so, you have Harry Reid's blessing. Personally, that blessing would keep me awake at night.
