Maj. Martin predicts:
"Truth is, I don't think 30% of the GOP will sit out the 2024 election if Trump isn't the nominee"
I can't speak for the rest, but I can speak for myself.
If Mr. Trump is on the ballot, I'll put my mark there.
You can take that to the bank, sir.
If Mr. DeSantis is on the ballot, I'll [probably] put my mark there.
But anyone else?
Nikki Haley?
That guy with the funny name?
Just about anyone other than that?
Probably not. I'll just leave that spot blank.
I'm done voting for "Republicans" like that.
Nothing wrong with not voting for a candidate you don't like. If the only two you can tolerate are Trump and perhaps DeSantis, that's fine.
I was addressing the specific tweet posted by someone above from Loomer, saying that there were 30% or so who would not vote for the GOP nominee unless it was Trump, just to teach the rest of us a "tough lesson".
It's the "teach a lesson" stuff I think is crap. If you think the nominee is terrible, then don't vote for them. But a blanket refusal not to vote for anyone else, just to "teach a lesson", is both irrational and childish.
