"shape" the GOP election than the Dem one?

If you're an independent who reads the paper, you know that Sanders is not going to win the nomination. That means, if you are liberal minded, you just might choose instead to "shape" the GOP convention, and choose the weakest candidate (or the candidate that you think will raise some hell on the GOP side to cause divisiveness/disunity) running for the Team Republican nomination.

So, does that mean you vote for flaky Cruz, so he'll fight, spit, wail and fling shit, or Trump, because most women despise him, will vote against him, and want nothing to do with him?

Hard to know! The exit polls will tell the tale!
