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.
You are picking a side by voting in the Republican primary. You are Republican because you picked one of their candidates. And like a stated elsewhere they will vote that person into office because they don’t give a shit about who the person is. If they are the chosen Republican candidate they will be in office, you are choosing to make their choice more extreme.
Your picking a side to disrupt and add weight to an unlikable candidate who will lose badly in the general election.
Republicans did this with Bernie Sanders hoping he would win not Hillary Clinton in 2016. It works better in local and state elections where you can organize the effort.
No you’re not.
