That is the saddest thing about this whole mess. I've had to hold my nose and vote for George H W Bush (I didn't, I voted for Ross Perot), Bob Dole, George W Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney. The issue was that these were to various extents, RINOs.
If someone honestly believes that Trump would be just as bad as Hillary, then don't vote. But if you don't vote for Trump because he was not your favorite Republican, and Hillary wins then you chose to support Hillary.
Personally, Trump was my 16th favorite out of the original 17 Rs. But he would still be better than Hillary, for the reasons I have stated several times.
You keep saying that a vote for a 3rd Party is a vote for Hillary, when that is literally false, but you won't acknowledge a a vote FOR Trump is a vote for TRUMP.
I would rather write someone in.
I find it sad and concerning that we've reached the point where we're trying to justify voting for someone who's at least currently saying the right things, but nobody is sure where he will stand if he's elected.
People change their views, beliefs and opinions all the time and often times they can be sincere. The problem with Trump is that he's changed them so often that it's hard to tell where he actually stands on many issues. He also almost always gives himself an out to change his opinion later and make it seem like he was open to changing it from the beginning.
It is literally true.
You will go into the voting booth and mark beside Trump's name. You will literally give him your vote, and that is absolutely an endorsement by you of Trump and all he stands for. Own it.
He also said you could am,e a fortune in Real Estate if only you spent your money at Trump U.
You're not voting against Hillary. You're voting FOR Trump. You explicitly support all of Trump's Trumpiness. You are saying Trump is the type of person YOU want for the Presidency.
McCain, while an establishment member, was at least an actual Republican in some respects and had a record to go on. Romney was a former Republican governor (of a heavily blue state) and had a strong business background. Trump has never held elected office (that doesn't disqualify him, obviously) and has a very questionable record on just about everything when it comes to conservative policies. Neither McCain nor Romney were actual conservatives but both were at least better than Obama, or at least less objectionable. I question the degree to which Trump is better than Hilary, though I do agree he's better at least a little.
I agree that it's been a while since we've had two objectionable candidates of this caliber from each party at the same time.
All one needs to do is read "Rules for Radicals" to understand what is going on.
It's not the numbers I don't trust. It's the interpretation, or the "spin" if you will, that is misleading.
