Good points all, but if faced with a choice between a RINO and a Democrat-Socialist — the only viable options in a general election — I will do whatever needs to be done to defeat the Democrat-Socialist. The alternative — to help the Democrat-Socialist win the election by voting for a candidate who cannot possibly win or by not voting — is worse for America and, compounding the agony, conservatives gain nothing ... the Republican Party leaders will not “get the message” ... they won’t.
There is no difference between a RINO and a Dem. If they are the choices, you write in a conservative Or you elect a lib.
If you write in a conservative, you lose no more than by voting FOR a lib. But if enough of us write in, things ‘might’ change. and that is a ‘lesser evil’ than guaranteed ‘bad’ with the D/R win.
