(561 posts)Susan you have a right to your opinion, and the right to leave or stay at this site, but unlike you, I can't in good conscience vote for 3rd party candidates, who don't have a snowball chance in hell, of winning. I want my vote to really count, in order to defeat Trump.
Trump will win the nomination, of that I have no doubt, and the republicans will fall in line and back him. The republicans at FOX are already mending fences between Megyn Kelly and Trump, she'll be doing a prime time special with him. Boehner was out there today bashing Cruz. Trump has already threatened the GOP, with marches and protests if he isn't chosen as the nominee. He will follow through, and they know it.
And here's the thing, I have never seen a candidate engender so much hate on the campaign trail, and get away with it. Trump isn't stupid, far from it, but he is vicious. I would put nothing pass this man. People who have worked for him will tell you the same thing, he believes everything he does is "right", he's very determined, and it is not easy to bring him around once he sets his mind to something. A person like that, doesn't belong in the White House. He's a bully, with a short fuse, who is on an ego trip. He lies like the rug on top of his head. Not having had to work a day in his life, for anyone but his father, he has little to go on, for what it's like for the average voter. Nor does he care. Money has always been there for him. He's an agitator, he brings out the worst in people, the fear and hate. Things we should be ashamed of not proud of. But it's his "truth"
My greatest hope is that Sanders & Clinton will put aside their differences, and work together to defeat him. I hope President Obama gets out there quickly, he's done a lot good, it's time to remind people. I'm a realist, whether or not Sanders or Clinton were the best candidates my party had to offer, either one is better than Trump. I was listening to Trump give a speech few days ago, besides talking about using nukes in Europe, killing the families of terrorists, water boarding, building his wall, and keeping all Muslims out, he mentioned how Sanders isn't being treated "fairly" and that he should run as a 3rd party candidate. Like I said, Trump isn't stupid, he knows a 3rd party will be an automatic win for himself. But he's clever enough to make it look like he cares. The best thing I can do, is to be just as clever and make sure my vote counts.... against him.
Good Luck to you, and all of us, if God Forbid Trump wins.
