If you had no choice ...?

But to choose one of the Republicans now running for President, whom would you choose?

Ben Carson, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, or Donald Trump?

Or would you just say, "Screw it ! I ain't voting!"

all the Dem candidates fell off the planet. A vote gives you a chance to makes things better, even if it's the least of 5 evils. If let's say I had to vote in a Repubican primary I'd pic Ben Carson because I think he's got the smallest chance of winning in the general.

I think lots of moderate Republicans are going to be faced w that question and will vote for the Democrat. That's what my Republican neighbors did in 08 and 12

Any of the others would do some crazy shit.

Your 'screw it' premise is a separate and and foolish scam. You can't say no choice with a choice.

America will elect Hillary Clinton president this Fall.

I personally think trump is in way over his head and would step down in a year after taking office.

anti-citizen, and the more minority status that citizen has, the less chance for representation there'll be with the Republican Party. From Nixon forward, the GOP has been one long bad road.

That's a long time for a political party to be a pack of bigoted jerks.

If republicans win here they win Ohio/Florida/Virginia and win the white house anyway.
