Like RL below, your comments make good sense. But I still think that this time, more than ever, we should vote for our principles instead of just to get our man elected.

Getting their man elected at all costs is what the Republicans did last time, and you can see see what they got.

Besides, there was nothing wrong with Hillary. All the objections against here were meticulously manufactured and maliciously propagated by the GOP to discredit the last Democratic success story in the White House, the Clintons. The Republicans will do everything they can to smear any Democrat, even if we nominate a squeaky clean born-again Christian military veteran and successful businessman country boy from the Deep South.

All the Right cares about is not paying taxes and removing all inconvenience from big business. They won't vote for another Lincoln unless he signs on to that. And they'll gladly vote for another Trump if he does.
