It comes down to how you want to "gamble" sneakypete. There are no guarantees with any of them.
One can gamble on:
- one of the other candidates in the race,
- letting the chips fall where they may by not participating in the Presidential election in November, or
- Trump.
This time around I am willing to gamble on Trump; if he is able to accomplish in 4 years, 1/2 of what he is talking about, I will be satisfied.
I know,but I am awful damn tired of Lucy pulling that football away from meevery time, just as I kick it. Going on past record,Trump is the most unreliable and dishonest creature in politics,and that's saying something.
I am leaning towards Cruz because I think he is mostly conservative,but it remains to be seen how much pressure is going to be applied to him bY tje RNC as the campaign goes along,and if he yields to it. IF he does as I think he will do and stands tall in front of the Bill of Rights,he's got my vote and maybe even some of my money. If he fails to do that,I will go to the polls and leave the Presidential box unchecked and go back home,content that I have done my duty as a citizen and voted for people I actually want to see in public office who I believe will protect the Bill of Rights.
I will NOT vote for the lesser of two evils under ANY circumstances. That's the kind of crap that has put us where we are today,and it has to stop or we will never have any actual conservative candidates to vote for.
If I am wrong and you are right and Trump wins and governs like someone who is conservative,I will happily admit you are right,and congradulate you while apologizing for doubting your wisdom.
Sometimes being wrong is a good thing.
