I hope that all of us are guided by the "ME" principal instead of blind party lines or a feeling of inevitability. If we do not put our interest first I guarantee the winner will not either.

If you guys think Trump is the best thing ever, by all means vote for him, twice if you can, woo-hoo for your enthusiasm. I'm going to vote for a candidate that deserves my vote.

I'm not convinced the Republicans picked the worst candidate. Let's be honest, most of them are really Democrats masquerading as conservatives. The interest groups they serve are the same, and they all worship at the same altar of money. Which explains, in simplest terms, why the economic and social policies served the needs of those in a position to wield the most influence for the past 20+ years. They bought off the poor... and the rest of us are footing the bill.
But lets keep it simple. Ten people in a room going to elect a leader. Four want the Red. Three want the Yellow. Two decide, in good conscience, to vote for Blue. One abstains because "Pie" wasn't a choice on the ballot.
Red wins- done. Not because Red had the most votes, but because the slow kids in the room didn't understand the part about "one of the two top choices is going to win."
Really as simple as that.
