we are forced to vote for the lesser of evils.

No sir, your postulation creates a universe where there is only evil; where there is either absolute socialism, or a “lesser” degree of socialism —I don’t accept that- I don’t know why you do.
There is good— an example would be Inhofe when he was first elected as a solid conservative; or the 50 or so current conservative house members.
Inhofe has now surrendered to socialism, certainly to a lesser degree than Obama, Hillary or Sanders— but nevertheless, socialism. And so he votes for a socialist budget.
There’s no doubt in my mind that somewhere in Oklahoma, there is an individual who believes in the Founders’ America, limited government, a constitutional republic -— maybe even a few of them, in which case Oklahomans can vote for the greater of goods, instead of acquiescing to the lesser of evils.

You’re living in a fairy tale world, my friend. Grow up. If you are willing to accept a Hillary type over a ninety percent or even fifty percent Conservative you are part of the problem not the solution.
Inhofe is aging and won’t be in office much longer but his replacement won’t be much different. Maybe we’ll end up with another Coburn or Lankford, who knows?
