Quote:   Until about 3 weeks ago,  I thought Hillary Clinton would easily defeat Donald Trump in the general election.   Now,  I'm not as sure.   Regardless of what's pointed out regarding Trump's past,  most of his supporters are willing to overlook it in large part because they have lost confidence in both political parties and politicians in general.   With all of the baggage that Hillary Clinton has,  I can now envision Trump getting enough support to beat her if he runs an aggressive campaign against her. 

 

   Having expressed all of this,  though Trump probably would be the lesser of the evils from my point of view,   I'm more likely than not going to write in Ted Cruz in November if Trump is the Republican Nominee.    Under no circumstance would I ever vote for Hillary Clinton  ( or Bernie Sanders ). 

 

I hear you.  I'm watching carefully to see how the next two weeks play out contemplating who I'm going to vote for in the primary coming up.  I'm seriously beginning to lean towards Ted Cruz.  Although Rubio didn't win a whole lot on Super Tuesday, he did make a couple of the races close.

 

Regarding your last statement.  That is precisely why I think that if Trump is the Republican nominee, Clinton will be the next President.  Many conservatives that do not like Trump will either write in a different candidate such as what you propose, or they won't even bother showing up.  I too would never ever vote for either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders and I don't know if I could honestly vote for Donald Trump.
