I'm in Blue Washington state. We have to choose a party by voting for ONE candidate in either the R or D primary.

I have no doubt that Biden will get all 12 of our Electoral Votes in November.

Does it make more sense to vote for Biden to help ensure that supporters of spoiler candidates vote for Biden in November?

Or vote for Haley in order to hurt TFG?

1. Voting for Haley isn't going to hurt Trump.

Contrary to popular belief, crossover voters rarely do much of anything to sway elections. There are a couple of exceptions where there was some movement, but it's unlikely to do anything in WA this year. And it's pretty much meaningless where the big picture is concerned.

7. Yes, but the Presidential Primary is all by itself in Washington

8. You're not going to "hurt" TFG

and that's a gopper move, anyway - "hurting the right people."

I have no doubt that Biden will get all 12 of our Electoral Votes in November.

There lies complaiscancy and that loses elections - just don't do it.

9. Vote D...

Show overwhelming Biden support

Then maybe - just maybe - the pundits will stop asking him to drop out

10. If you vote "R", you won't "own" the MAGAs. You will, however,

... find your name passed around Repug candidates so they can all ask you for contributions to their campaigns. Forever.
