-- If people who are supposedly Conservative fail to unite behind our nominee, whoever it is, I will consider them to be anti-American ... --

That's mighty uncharitable of you. America is about individual freedom, not submitting to any group's dictates. I am quite sure that there are many constitutionalists who prefer to participate in this "self government" in ways that don't include voting for a member of the uniparty.

Of course you can object to them not supporting the candidate that you prefer, but that is hardly a sure sign of being anti-American.

I'm a conservative in a liberal state, so my vote is meaningless. I often "no vote" certain races. So, FWIW, you are considering me anti-American. I mean, I'm okay with that, seeing as our friendship is superficial and of no real value anyway.

Sorry for the confusion.

If you’re saying you won’t support Cruz if he is the nomineee... or if you’re saying you won’t support Trump if he’s the nominee... or if you’re saying you won’t support Ryan, Rubio, Romney, etc., if they are the nominee.... Then yes, I will be disappointed in you.

As you said, it’s certainly your right to vote however you want. For me, it is about #NeverHillary or #NeverSanders. And I will vote for whomever is the Republican nominee, even if I can’t stand them.

Saving America is important to me. If we end up with Hillary or Sanders, I fear for my Country. Choosing to sit out the election because one doesn’t like our Republican nominee is a vote for Hillary or Sanders. That’s my opinion.

But as you said, if you’re in a liberal state, and if it’s true that your vote doesn’t matter anyway, then I can’t hold it against you if you sit out and don’t vote. But for people who COULD affect the vote, if they choose to sit out because they have sour grapes that their candidate didn’t win the nomination... THAT is what I meant by being unAmerican.
