In a few short months, primary voters will begin selecting the Republican presidential nominee. The two debates thus far have been underwhelming. A third is approaching on Nov. 8, but it, too, promises to be the kind of unhelpful event that lacks the virtue of at least being entertaining. Yet I’ll be watching — tuned in and deciding which candidate to support. I’m not a Republican, but I’ll play one on Super Tuesday, March 5.

    It’s not that you can’t. It’s just that OP is proceeding on an unfounded assumption - that just by voting for what he considers the ‘worst’ Rep candidate, they’re guaranteed to lose. As we’ve seen with Trump, that’s not the case.

      Trump lost in Colorado and this strategy has destroyed the GOP in the state. Colorado used to be a red state before independents figured out how to game the system.

        Colorado was red until red came out and put the nazi flags back on in public display.

          Colorado was red until TABOR arrived and everything went to shit because taxes couldn’t be used to build up the infrastructure.
