I'm not doing third-party to show the "GOP" (as in, the GOPe). I'm doing it to "show" the Trump supporters that I value principle. Many Trumpets talk about having to hold their nose for Romney et al, and claim they don't want to do that again. Well, me neither, so I refuse to vote for Trump.
Won't happen for one simple reason: Democrats understand how the system works, Republicans don't. Even the most die-hard, ranting, raving, spitting Bernie supporters are going to calm down and vote Hillary on election day.
Oh, there will be a few loudmouth cranks who will write in Bernie but all the Hillary campaign has to do is point out to them that it was the splitters voting for Nader that got Bush elected twice and the vast majority of the D's will fall into line and vote for Hillary. That's why she'll be our next president.![]()

If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.
The campaign to bring the young turks of the Democratic party back into the fold has already begun. I don't take write-in or third party voters seriously. Political analyst don't take them any more seriously than registered voters who don't vote. Regardless of how I want the world to be, I am reminded that this is the world that I live in. The GOP and the DNC have just about decided who they will put on the ballot come November. Any choice other than one of those two people is essentially a non-factor in choosing the next President.
Not a sentiment I agree with, but for those who pay attention, this is the type of thing the DNC and progressives are currently working on.

It's neither curious nor sudden. He said he was in the race as long as he had a path to victory. Getting stomped as he did in Indiana closed even tough but theoretically possible path he had. Suspending the campaign lets him stop expenditures and refocus his efforts. I'm going to support Trump in the general but I am amazed at how many people buy the ludicrous BS Trump peddles about Cruz being ineligible or having ties to LHO or anything else.
That's not what his published policy positions state: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions
Strange.
Do you seriously buy that or are you just being facetious? When a person has a decades long history of one opinion on a subject and then changes his opinion at the very same time he's trying to gain the support of a certain demographic, it's pretty clear those new opinions are complete and total BS.
The healthcare thing isn't even old. It was only a couple months ago that he publicly said he'd replace bama care with another government program.
A man's past actions and words define his character, not some "policy position" posted on a website.
