Well, I guess it’s all over. I held the line for as long as I could, but now it looks like Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee. It’s never fun to admit that defiance is futile, but it’s time for me to make amends. It’s time to build bridges. It’s time to reach out to all my Trump-supporting brothers and sisters. Here’s why I’m going back on my word and voting for Donald Trump in November, and why you should too
Nope!
Get this through your thick skulls, Trumpkins: #NeverTrump doesn’t mean #MaybeTrump. It doesn’t mean #NeverTrumpUnlessCruzDropsOut. It means just what it says. #NeverTrump.
There is always a choice that does NOT require anyone to vote for Trump.
Vote Third Party!!!
Untrue. The #never Trump bunch are still alive and well and they include many of the GOP leadership, would be hilarious if the only people to show up at the convention are the Trumpbots. You can vote for Him, or Her, or someone else, or no one at all, life is always full of choices.
Actually that is also untrue. Your vote is not going to put her in office or keep her out the Electoral college decides that and she already has 237 to 191 lead from the starting line, the donald has to win a minimum of 79 of the remaining 110 votes to win the Whitehouse, not going to happen.The choice is simply this:
Either vote for Trump or waste your vote and allow Hillary Clinton to become the next President of the United States.
That's what it all boils down to. :shrug:
Maybe you should have read the spoiler text...

Ummm....No.
It's funny how people have "predicted" electoral votes well before any election has even occurred.
It was also funny how people predicted Trump would never win the GOP nomination.
What's that old saying? Oh yeah...never count your chickens before they hatch. :coffeepap:

This is the same lame argument as always.
And people wonder how we've ended up with Trump vs. Clinton. :roll:
Voting for a party/candidate you despise is the only true "wasted vote".
Exactly. Especially considering the fact that they are both dog**** candidates.I will never, repeat, NEVER vote for Trump. Ever. I want #NeverTrump on my ****ing headstone.
The people who voted for this clown in the primaries own him. I reject him. "He isn't Hillary" is hardly a compelling reason to cast a vote for him.

"Either blindly vote for an establishment candidate, even if they don't represent your beliefs in any way, shape, or form, or your vote is wasted."
You and people who believe like you are what's wrong with our country and its political system. The two major parties have astronomically low approval rates yet continue to possess 99.9% of the power.

Not true in a an essentially two-party system like we have in the USA.
Voting for a third party candidate may give one a sense of righteousness in our system by indicating "neither" as a vote and letting the winner know they don't have a mandate...and I have done that myself when faced with GOP/DEM candidates I didn't like but considered relatively harmless. Still, that hasn't stopped a winner from proceeding with their agendas yet, has it?
So when it comes to picking between the lesser of two evils (or in my opinion in this campaign between an evil "Clinton" and a possible good "Trump") voting third party is a waste of your vote.
In all honestly I would love to see a multiparty-system simply because such a system advances compromise rather than our current either/or partisanship. Since that is not the current case and I don't see it changing in the near future, my point about wasting a vote stands.
You ARE selecting one or the other of these two candidates whether you vote third party or commit your vote to Clinton or Trump.
BTW Rabid...ad homs are never a winning argument. :coffeepap:
:shrug: why should I care if Trump or Hillary wins?
I mean, am I supposed to worry that Hillary Clinton will have an inept foreign policy, fueled by dangerous ignorance about how the world works? Perhaps I should vote for Trump because otherwise Hillary will seek to restrict our First or Second Amendment Rights? Maybe I should switch to back Trump because Hillary would raise taxes and push for universal health care. Perhaps I'm supposed to vote for Trump because otherwise Hillary might pass Amnesty, support Crony Capitalism, and pursue destructive economic policies?
What, exactly, am I supposed to be voting for when you want me to vote for that moral cretin, that foul man, that disgusting demagogue degrading our body politic?
Hillary Clinton, as awful as she is, will be less destructive than Donald Trump. At least Hillary will face a unified opposition in the GOP - Donald will be free to run rampant, and is no less a liberal authoritarian than she is.
I will never, repeat, NEVER vote for Trump. Ever. I want #NeverTrump on my ****ing headstone.

Exactly. Trump and Hillary are the worst presidential candidates to prop up in while, and they're so horrible they've scored historic unfavorable ratings. More than half of the country views Hillary and Trump as completely terrible candidates for President.Most depressing election of my lifetime. How in the hell did these 2 idiots end up as the candidates?
Well, then, by the same math, by not voting for Hillary Clinton, I am voting for Trump, so you're welcome
Umm...NO!
The Democrats will not support his policies in Congress, and many Republican's won't either unless they are considered in line with Republican policy
That means Trump WON'T "run rampant." He will either be reined in or get nothing accomplished.
On the other hand Hillary will have the full support of the Democrats in Congress and also some crossover Republicans as usual.
