All Due Respect

I don't agree with the Republican's choice either. Hell Bernie would beat both of these two like rented mules.

I think Bernie's support wasn't nearly as deep as people think it is. Neither are his policy chops.

The GOP is every bit their members as the DEM party is. Both have primaries, both chose their candidates, both had the delegates vote for that person. If the GOP establishment really wanted to knock him out, they could have done it through convoluted procedure. It would have caused a third party run by Trump, ensuring a Clinton victory, but rather than choose that option, the GOP establishment/leadership, whatever, agreed to him, because their ultimate goal isn't responsible governing, it's just holding power.

Not the way I see it. The voters are just minions, and they are punishing the GOP, the party that they are not invited to have a voice in anymore.

We may be arguing semantics, but the voters control the party. They did just that by voting in Trump. Dem voters did the same by voting for Hillary over Sanders.

Changed one little word for you Ben. Those pesky "super delegates" were always the way to victory for Secretary Clinton

Hillary had 3 million more votes on the popular election side. She won the primary by having more votes. I'm not a fan of the super-delegate system, and hope that the party changes it in the future, but to think that she only won due to super-delegates ignores the will of the people who voted in the primary.

You vote your conscience, and I'll do the same. I'll still love you in the morning. I promise.

I'll still love you too buddy, I'm not even sure I can use my conscience on this because I really don't like any of them. I Just dislike one a whole lot more!

Pretty much where I'm at.

Cheers!

...This election is the least pure, to be sure, but it's par for the course, especially in a nation that idolizes reality stars and sports figures over scientists and teachers.

Too true.

I keep facing the most redundant of redundant comments, "A vote for anyone other than... is the same as a vote for [the party you most dislike]."

My conscience is Trump. Hiliary never.
