Quote:Most people that I speak to or communicate with are on the Right Side of the political spectrum like we are and view the situation the way you and some others participating in this thread are.   Though I'm taking a different approach,   I respect each of your decisions as they are well thought out. 

 

   There have been some Presidential elections,  including in 2008 and 2012 that I voted for the Republican Nominee reluctantly.    There have been others ( 1992 and 1996 ) that I voted for a 3rd Party candidate.    For me,  there are too many things I'm uncomfortable with Donald Trump to vote for him even knowing that Hillary Clinton is an epic disaster.  I'm as against Hillary Clinton as a person can be but my opinion of Donald Trump is on a similar level. 

 

  This time around,  I know that Ted Cruz represents what I think would be best interest of the United States regardless of the fact that he's not on the ballot in a conventional way.   If I'm fortunate enough to be around and healthy enough in the days, months, and years to come  ( I take nothing for granted- each day is a gift ),  I'll be comfortable knowing that I voted for someone who if given the opportunity I'm highly confident would put the U.S. back on the right track.
