(31,483 posts)would sit this one out if Trump isn't the nominee. That would be good for the Democratic nominee.
Secondly, if Trump is successfully removed from office, I want a Republican candidate who is not batshit crazy. Kasich may espouse a lot of right wing policies, but he is at least competent for the job if he were to win.
While I think any of the Democratic candidates would be preferable, I don't have a whole lot of confidence in our election security, since very little has been done to protect it. For that reason, I want the Republican nominee to be a capable person who will keep the best interests of our country in mind and can win back the trust of our allies.
That being said, we need to whip the socks off the Republicans at every level of government. We have our work cut out for us.
