Early Colorado Vote

Posted on 10/21/2016 12:58:45 PM PDT by goldstategop

I've left the GOP and registered again as Independent voter.

I voted Trump at the top of the ballot and voted Libertarian down the ballot in protest at the Republican Party's sabotage of our nominee and collusion to elect Hillary.

Voted NO on major propositions, tax increases and to kick out all incumbent judges.

Was a great feeling and a good early vote here this afternoon for me in my rural Colorado county.

Because you’re expecting the Democrat Congress to send Trump some great legislation?

Personally, I think a Trump presidency with Democrats in control of Congress will be the biggest disaster this country has faced in a long time.

Absolutely right. Don't let the Democrats take key races just because you're trying to stick it to Paul Ryan. You're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

In Arizona, I did not vote for McCain — voted for the Green Party candidate instead of the Democrat as I don’t like to leave ballots under-voted as they can be marked by others.

Well done. I will be voting for DJT in NJ on November 8th and for the Libertarian candidate in CD 7. Leonard Lance is a worm who talks conservative every 2 years and then goes RINO as soon as he gets back to Washington. He will still win as we are so heavily Republican in Morris County, but I will drive any RINO vote total as low as I can make it. I will vote GOP for County Freeholder as they are actually not too bad.

Yeah, we got ours two days ago.
I usually vote early, but will be off this time to do it on election day.
Hopefully, it’ll give the cheaters less time to monkey around with our votes.

I’m from California. I noticed the same thing, the coastal areas are more populated and dictate the whole state. That really upsets me, that the liberals manage to take over the most beautiful country. How is that?

Tough call but unless it was a real GOPe dirtbag, I’d be able inclined the make sure Trump has a Repub party congress and as party chair, let him work it from the weekend inside. He needs to be able to get Obamacare repeal through congress

I am doing the same. Except, I am doing the unthinkable, voting D against McCain. Oh, and I am voting for Arpaio.

Even Bush signed all those Democrat bills as he was finishing up his term.

Nevermind how likely these “protest voters” think it will be that the Dims will confirm any of Trump’s court nominations.

This butthurt protest vote is just as bad as the #nevertrump movement. Two sides of the same coin.

Fact is there is no “faction” of the GOP that can win national elections on its own. We have to unite with the factions we don’t fully agree with and present a united front to the Dems, or they will walk all over us, because they’ve convinced enough gays, blacks and Jews to all vote in unison even though they hate each other.

I’ll follow your lead.
Seems like a good strategy

I would probably do the same.

I meant their October coup d’etat.

If they keep their Senate majority, they’re on probation.

Personally, I felt like this party isn’t deserving of my support.

If only they fought as hard to defeat Hillary as they’re fighting Trump, I might have voted differently today.

I haven’t changed my views - the GOP leadership just doesn’t consider it critical to defeat Hillary.

And I made sure she won’t become President. I pray our country follows suit.

When the Dims even have the Muslims and the Jews voting the same way, you know they understand how to unify in the face of their opposition. And that is a winning strategy.

We got our ballots yesterday, we are in rural Co. Daughter lives in Denver area got hers this week also. Wife and I are voting Trump and nobody else. All the amends are no also and just for spite all incumbent Judges get a no vote. If you know anybody that lives in Aurora Co. please urge them to not vote for Mike Coffman.

Yeah, I understand the frustration, but Libertarian votes down-ballot work against a Trump/conservative effort and therefore help the Dems by neutralizing an otherwise GOP vote.

No because Trump can do what Obama did for the last eight years.

Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool.

Good. I hope you voted no on amendment “T” which would remove involuntary servitude as a punishment for crime. I guess this law was to allow chain gangs. I say, why not keep that?

A lot of people here on FreeRepublic have an unhealthy level of trust in Donald Trump. That may end up being the biggest blunder of their lives.

I'm 100% behind Trump, but I have no illusions about what he brings to the table.
