When Trump wins the GOP nomination he should announce he is ALSO running third party. That will fix ‘em.

Count me in (or out). I’ve voted for every GOP presidential candidate since 1976, including moderates like Dole and McCain. If Trump is the nominee, I won’t vote for president or will vote third party.

I live in CA, so it won’t matter much anyway. Hillary will win here.

Nearly a quarter of voters are mentally retarded apparently.

The last time even 65% of eligible voters actually managed to vote was 1908. Every presidential election since it has been less than that, sometimes way less. So only 25% of voters deciding to not vote would be a massive improvement in turnout, beating 1908 by + 10%.

I don't believe it.

Anyone who has the propensity to vote has a strong enough opinion that they will vote no matter who is on the ticket.

I used to think like you do, but then it dawned on me why Democrats bus as many as they can to the polls.

Frankly, I’m okay with low participation.

We pay attention and get there under our own power. And we protect the nation as much as we can.

Others? Please stay home folks... “:^)

The Hill is nothing more than a way to post pure BS!

The general election is going to be ONE of, If not THE most voter attended in history because Trump has the nations attention and will receive the most votes.

Thanks to Trump we will be proud to vote for someone instead of against someone!

I’m definitely NOT a Trumpster. But I will be supporting and voting for the R nominee, whoever it is. I still don’t understand what the hell Kasich is trying to do/prove. His refusal to quit an obviously failed campaign seems rather juvenile!

So what?

It’s a free country - people don’t have to vote.

You get that, right? FREE COUNTRY...

I've noticed your anti-Trump, pro-Curz/Globalism posts before. Why are you still here? Show a little self-respect and courtesy and leave.

“If you are a NeverTrump type person, you are working against our purposes on FR, so please opus out now and log off and let us carry on with our mission in peace.

Continue insulting us with 24/7 anti-Trump diatribes and insults, your opus will be assumed.”

Ten percent of “Republicans” would vote for Hillary. Oh boy. That’s evil.

Kasich is crazy. He reminds me of Beck.
