In a few short months, primary voters will begin selecting the Republican presidential nominee. The two debates thus far have been underwhelming. A third is approaching on Nov. 8, but it, too, promises to be the kind of unhelpful event that lacks the virtue of at least being entertaining. Yet I’ll be watching — tuned in and deciding which candidate to support. I’m not a Republican, but I’ll play one on Super Tuesday, March 5.

    If the Democrats are united and running unopposed then what? Circle the automatic winner? Or you can influence who the challenger is, hopefully picking some idiot that allows the unopposed Democrat to steam roll them.

      Republican voters don’t care who is on the ballot, Democrats do. Republicans will vote a pro pedophile candidate into office. So voting in their primary is useless, again especially by voting for the extremist candidate. You are directly voting that extremist into office when you cast your primary vote.

      You are what we used to joke about a lot. People who think they can trick the right. We always knew better by always voting regardless of the candidate.

        Republicans and Democrats don’t decide elections, independent voters decide elections. Republicans make up 25%, Democrats make up 25%, Independents make up 49% of voters. 1% are third party like Libertarian.
