[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a Trump supporter.  I hate what he's done to the party.  I voted for Kasich in the primary, only because he was the best of what's left.

That said, I will vote for Trump over Clinton -- no questions asked.  [/quote]

I find this view baffling. If you hate him so much, why not write in Kasich or Romney or whoever? Why vote for someone you hate and whom you feel is destroying the party?[/quote]

It's really not that baffling.  It's an anti-Clinton vote more than a pro-Trump vote.  A vote for Romney or Kasich in the general election is truly a vote for Hillary.  I would vote for Obama before I vote for Hillary Clinton (most of his problems have been those of naive idealism - she's just a lying liar).  However, if the only two candidates possible were Clinton or Sanders, I'd vote Clinton.   However, I think that most Sanders enthusiasts and Trump enthusiasts are closer than the rest of us.  There could be a much bigger crossover of Bernie fans heading out to vote Trump for the same reason I will do so, even though we couldn't be farther apart politically.

So you won't vote for Hillary because you believe she's a liar. But you're willing to believe Donald Trump is not a liar, despite a great deal of evidence that he is. [/quote]

Trump is an "every man's liar."  He lies in the same way your neighbor does about his retirement fund or your husband does about what he can bench.  The lies are so earnest and transparent that you can't help but know he truly couldn't be that crazy.  Honestly, like I said, I'm not a true supporter though so I do understand what you're saying.  My problem is that Hillary has been part of the layered web of lies for so long that she doesn't even realize she's the source of the problem, not the answer.  Throughout most of her tenure as Sec of State, I tried to change my mind about her.  Then Benghazi happened.  It wasn't even a joke.  Her lies were base and real and horrid.[/quote]
Wow. That's quite a rationalization. [/quote]

Versus the rationalization you've apparently made?  That Clinton's lies don't affect our Nation at it's core?[/quote]
Anyone who capitalizes "Nation" is out there. But, anyway, you have no idea what I think. You're simply saying one liar is acceptable to you and the other one is not. The one you find acceptable is demonstrably bigoted, but that, too, is obviously acceptable to you. And that's fine. Just own it. [/quote]

Isn't that I'm doing? See, that's the thing.  You won't admit ownership of accepting Clinton's lies but you expect anyone who votes against her to "own" their rationalizations. The fact you lashed out at my capitalization tells me how you truly feel about being a part of this culture.  You expect all of the freedoms but, honestly, between you and me, you've never really had to sacrifice anything to get to where you are.   Let's face it, nobody knows for sure how either of these individuals will govern.  I simply choose to vote in a way that pisses you off.  That's my right. [/quote]
