SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Union-Tribune is urging its Republican readers to write in late former President Ronald Reagan's name at the polls during Tuesday's California primary to send a message to Donald Trump.

The newspaper explains in an editorial that it can't endorse the presumptive GOP nominee, it can't recommend voters don't vote and it can't suggest voting for another candidate "because it accomplishes nothing."

That's absurd.  Suggesting writing in a candidate is certainly a positive, but it makes a mockery out of the electoral system by advocating writing in someone deceased.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Perhaps stealing Rush's shtick..."Demonstrating absurdity by being absurd"?

And writing in a dead guy does what? Just gets the vote thrown out, that's all.
