Bush Buffoon....:chuckle:

You have to pity the RINO'S like Chrys, they just don't get it that their precious RINO party has been wholly rejected by a huge margin, they are dinosaurs that still believe their mediocre pseudo conservative, crony crapitalist message is still relevant. They whine and cry because nobody is buying it any more and would rather whine about it than embrace a different approach, they preach "Vote Republican!" Until the nominee doesn'fit their cookie cutter mold, there is only one thing left for Chrys or any other dinosaur RINO to do, other than put everyone that disagrees on ignore...

I'm an evangelical who does not care for candidate Trump. Some have argued that I have no viable alternative and will surely waste my vote by not pulling the lever for Trump for conscience sake. Arguments often cite the negative impact of a Clinton presidency, SCOTUS nominees for example. I have not moved into ‪#‎NeverTrump‬ land quite yet and this whole situation is very uncomfortable for me. I really do not know what I will do come November, but am praying for wisdom.

There is a Spurgeon quote being pasted about: “Of two evils, choose neither.” This tends to resonate with me, but as I was researching the quote further, I came upon the following analysis:

Left unchecked, this may get some traction in my thinking, perhaps clearing the way for supporting Trump. You are invited to offer a rebuttal to the referenced analysis.

My primary isn't until June 7. I'm interested to see how it turns out, because the GOP could have opened the primary to unaffiliated (No Party Preference) voters but didn't. The Democratic party did. NPP voter registration in California is almost the same as Republican, and both are way outnumbered by Democrats:

Democratic 43.1%
Republican 27.6%
No Party Preference 24.0%

So it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out on June 7 here in California, but even if I ever in my wildest dreams wanted to vote for Trump in the primary, I couldn't, I'm registered as no party preference. I wonder how the other 4 million-plus NPP voters will vote.

As to your boat scenario: I understand your dilemma, and you're certainly not alone among many moderate Republicans, I'm sure. But what's been interesting is watching conservatives who were screaming about not voting for a RINO in the last two elections fall in lockstep behind a populist/demagogue/nativist/embodiment of the Ugly American - and celebrating him as their new political messiah - and I think it's because he massages their latent bigotry and sense of victimhood.

I posted this some pages back:
Trump Selects a White Nationalist Leader as a Delegate in California

On Monday evening, California's secretary of state published a list of delegates chosen by the Trump campaign for the upcoming Republican presidential primary in the state. Trump's slate includes William Johnson, one of the country's most prominent white nationalists.

...We ended up in a mirrored conference room to meet with three AFP sympathizers, two middle-aged women and a young man. They talked about how Trump had enabled a new kind of "honest discourse," how he wasn't a racist but a "racialist," and how he had left them feeling "emancipated." Johnson also now finds it easier to be himself: "For many, many years, when I would say these things, other white people would call me names: 'Oh, you're a hatemonger, you're a Nazi, you're like Hitler,'" he confessed. "Now they come in and say, 'Oh, you're like Donald Trump.'"



I don't want the President of the United States to have a delegate who's a white nationalist, or a white nationalist who feels so in sync with the President of the United States, so I won't be swimming to that boat.
