There are many here on Free Republic that out of principle advocate voting for a democrat. Their focus and disdain for primaried republican candidates is so narrow they espouse a vindictive act to get even.
The view through a paper towel tube is so narrow it can’t see that there are thousands and thousands of voters that do not hold the vindictive position.
I think you’ve got it wrong. Not many if any are going to vote for a democrat but many of us are simply not going to vote at all. The elite republicans are not going to take my vote for granted any longer. Doesn’t mean that I will vote for a democrat..that will never happen.
