I did this once ... moonscape Apr 2019 #36

I might even donate to Bill Weld if it would weaken AnusMouth. lastlib Apr 2019 #16

Not a fucking chance in Hell. I don't care for either of them and neither of them scare me ... marble falls Apr 2019 #5

I don't consider it a "shenanigan" AdamGG Apr 2019 #15

There's a fair amount of rationalization in that. Voting in a primarey for a candiate and a party .. marble falls Apr 2019 #17

I understand your point, but I do think that Weld is infinitely better than Trump AdamGG Apr 2019 #21

Never. Iggo Apr 2019 #6

Never occurred to me. ancianita Apr 2019 #9

Depends on where the Dems are. If someone I especially like is neck and neck... LAS14 Apr 2019 #10

Never. And thankfully Florida has closed primaries. GulfCoast66 Apr 2019 #11

Not exactly true. Only REGISTERED Democrats may vote for Dems... Lucid Dreamer Apr 2019 #22

No, because I believe it would be counter-productive & would help Republicans. CaptainTruth Apr 2019 #12

I don't think there's a chance of Weld becoming the nominee, though AdamGG Apr 2019 #24

No. area51 Apr 2019 #13

I am especially grateful to Weld because this means fewer R's will be tempted to cross over pnwmom Apr 2019 #14

A good point. Also, if Weld gains steam, Repubs will have to spend more time and money on the spooky3 Apr 2019 #27

I've voted Republican in primaries before, to forestall a particularly evil candidate . . . Journeyman Apr 2019 #20

"Particularly evil candidate" is part of my reasoning AdamGG Apr 2019 #23

It might be enticing if Weld (or anyone else) is at 20% or so. That might be enough . . . Journeyman Apr 2019 #26

I agree. I was just trying to be alliterative with the 4's. AdamGG Apr 2019 #28

But that was the general election. Nader wasn't running in the R primary against GW Bush AdamGG Apr 2019 #34

I also did this to vote for McCain in the New Hampshire primary that year. Chemisse Apr 2019 #33

Weld is not a serious candidate, you would be wasting your vote. tritsofme Apr 2019 #37
