    I don't think Hillary is the primary reason. After all, Hillary doesn't matter if he doesn't get the nomination. This is to try to beat Trump.

        I think if it comes down to a Drumph vs. Billary race, I just may sit out the first time in 30+ years. I'm not sure I can stomach voting for either of those two...

          We keep hearing about how many new voters Trump is attracting but little is said about the studies showing even larger numbers are being motivated to vote against him or just how many of those who can be counted on to vote Republican will not vote if he is the nominee.

          I'm always still in trouble again

            Welcome to the club. I've yet to vote for a President.
            I'm not here anymore.

              There are more than two names on the ballot. Could always vote third party.

                Yeah, Maybe Ross will run again!
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  I'm not ashamed to admit that I voted for Ross twice.

                    So did I. I actively campaigned for him.
                    I'm 74, have always voted, yet I have voted for a Republican only once (in '64) and not for a Democrat before Gore won in 2000 (the popular vote). Until 2008 I never voted for the candidate who won the electoral college.
