I am for who wins the the primary and can be beat Trump!

If Bloomberg wins? I will support him!

If Warren wins? I win support her!

So on and so on!

It is time to quit blaming this person and that person from taking votes away from others! People vote your conscious and we find a winner out of who is left! It is what is in the White House we need to defeat!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

I am just asking if I am supposed to go along to get along even if I have a visceral dislike for someone. I would not vote for a rep or a third party shill. But theoretically could I just stay home rather than vote for someone who wouldn't be effective in my view? I have managed to raise 5 kids and i have a dozen grandkids thru a wide range of administrations. I see right through pandering. It turns me off..

For every complex problem there is a simple solution. And it is wrong.

I wish I could remember who said that.

I think there are times where you have to swallow hard and do things that you really don't want to do, because the alternative is much worse. Trump is an authoritarian, who reportedly has a book of Hitler's speeches in a bedside table. This is like no other election this country has had in a very long time. Even if our candidate is not someone you care for, please think carefully before you consider not voting.

I'm not a big fan of David Frum, but he got this right:

"Those citizens who fantasize about defying tyranny from within fortified compounds have never understood how liberty is actually threatened in a modern bureaucratic state: not by diktat and violence, but by the slow, demoralizing process of corruption and deceit. And the way that liberty must be defended is not with amateur firearms, but with an unwearying insistence upon the honesty, integrity, and professionalism of American institutions and those who lead them. We are living through the most dangerous challenge to the free government of the United States that anyone alive has encountered. What happens next is up to you and me. Don’t be afraid. This moment of danger can also be your finest hour as a citizen and an American."
