I’m seeing the disdain, but shouldn’t people be able to vote for who they want and not be a slave to their party?

Would you have the same feelings towards registered Democrats who decide to vote for Trump?

By the way, I’m a registered Republican who will not be voting for Trump either, mostly for the same reasons that TheO-LineMatters stated.  If the ticket were flipped I would probably be voting Republican, but in good conscience I cannot support Trump because to me it’s like rewarding bad behavior.  

I get never Trumpers. I understand people who can't vote for Trump on principle. I couldn't bring myself to vote for Trump last election. I can even understand why people would vote for an establishment candidate like Biden, even if they are a registered republican. I personally think they are making a mistake, but I can understand the rationale. What I don't understand, is someone who pretends to be a republican because he thinks it gives him some kind of tactical advantage in a debate on a messageboard. 

Mikesez is not an authentic poster. He makes asinine claims about himself and consistently tries to take "Machiavellian" approaches to arguing. I put it in quotes because he's terrible at it. Almost every post he makes has a falsity attached to it. Intentionally, imo. I've said it before, but he is either SUPER naïve, or he's a liar. I don't think he's naïve. I don't know why someone would come to a messageboard and do what he does, but people do weird stuff. Regardless, he's full of [BLEEP]. I would rather have a beer with the most radical poster here than someone like Mikesez. At least I know they are genuine.

That said, I'll have a beer with you, Mikesez. Tell me when and where.
