Cruz is a whack job. Definitely not a Hillary fan. She's a fucking whore. I like Paul, but he might be a bit too polarizing.
My wish would be for a moderate conservative who is palatable to the mass of folks that are the bulk of the voters out there who don't vote the party line, but vote for the person.

Yes, you won't end up voting for a winning candidate.
But your conscience can be clean.

Then why vote at all? If the person doesn't have a chance in hell of winning you are wasting a vote. Yes you can say "don't blame me because I didn't vote for that asshole" but if ya didn't vote you could say the same thing and you would have saved the postage stamp. Sadly sometimes you have to vote for the lessor of 2 evils and ya cant get much worse than Hillary because Obammy can't run again and Carter is too old

And this is why we don't have a viable third party. Because so many people think as you described.

I wish there WERE actually people like you describe.....the average Seattle voter will vote for anyone with a D behind their name and I (and many other gun owners) would rather cut off our balls than vote for a possibly anti-gun Democrat
sorry, but there really needs to be a 3rd party option (or no party affiliation??), you can't really vote for the person because that person CHOSE their party based on the party's platform

Sigh...that is so reductionist it's not even funny. Maybe if "small government" politicians and so-called libertarians stopped legislating marriages, bedroom activities and women's bodies - more people (including young urban dwellers, gay couples and women) would vote more conservatively (or would be less compelled to vote for Hillary). I fucking hate Hillary but I certainly have no love for a two-faced "Republican" that would have their ass handed to them by Barry Goldwater.
