Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) on Thursday refused to rule out voting for Democrat Hillary Clinton (http://thehill.com/people/hillary-clinton) over Republican Donald Trump (http://thehill.com/people/donald-trump) in the general presidential election.
“I think both Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton are flawed candidates,” he told a local CBS affiliate (http://miami.cbslocal.com/2016/03/24/republican-curbelo-open-to-voting-for-clinton/) in Miami. "If you look at the polls, the majority of Americans have a negative view of both of them."I’m going to wait and see what happens on our side; I’ve already said that I would not support Mr. Trump.”Curbelo said he could not support Trump, but that does not necessarily mean voting for a Democrat instead.
“I think that in every election, everyone — Republican, Democrat, independent — has to ask themselves, ‘Who is the best candidate for this office?’ " Curbelo said. "A lot of Republicans, Republicans that I know, would vote for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
“What I have said to the media over and over again is that I will not support Mr. Trump under any circumstances,” Curbelo added.

Geez.
:facepalm2:
If God forbid Trump is the nominee and you can't pull the lever for Trump, please don't pull the lever at all. Just focus on the down-ticket elections.
