    I noticed that former Republican now Libertarian Ron Paul has endorsed Tulsi Gabbard. So some principled Republicans may like her.

    I think it's a bad excuse but you guys don't provide much of an alternative and I don't see any attempt to provide one prior to the next election.

    National Review has had some positive things to say about her. I might consider her or one or two of the others as an alternative to Trump. None of them seem likely to win through at this point.

    If I hold my nose and vote for Trump, it will be because I think the Democrat presents such a great threat to our future that I’m not comfortable casting a third party protest vote.

    Actually i’d expect the republican presidential candidate to campaign in california and the democrat to campaign in texas. There are surely plenty of republican voters in CA who currently stay home in november, and vice versa in states like texas.

    If I was in your position I would leave it blank. But that’s my husband’s excuse for voting for him to. My husband would have voted for Bernie but not Hillary. Makes no sense to me.

    I will likely continue to have to vote for some 3rd-party candidate.

    Probably me too, but if Trump can keep the stock market propped up that would be the only reason I would vote for him.

    I can't stomach voting for evil and ineptitude just for potential economic gain.
