[QUOTE="Guinan, post: 76036974, member: 431956"] I actually voted third party in the 2016 presidential election because I didn't want to vote for Trump or Clinton. It was first time that I didn't vote Republican since I registered to vote in 1992. I voted for Biden with the sincere hope that he would defeat Trump and he would be a better President. He is the first Democrat I've ever voted for and he won't be the last if Trump continues to control the GOP. As far as I'm concerned, the Republican Party was sold out to Trump by a horde of Republican leaders who threw the GOP under the bus in an effort to advance their own political career. I wish I could vote Republican in the mid-terms and in the next presidential election, but I won't if Trump and his loyalists are still in control of the GOP. I will continue to vote Democratic if that's what it takes to diminish his control and influence over the party. I'd rather see the Republican Party crash and burn than continue to be under his control. If it has to crash and burn in order to be free of Donald Trump, then so be it. I've been asked why I haven't switched parties and I've honestly thought about it. I made the decision to stick it out and continue to speak out against Trump as a Never Trump Republican. I still think my opposition to him will be more effective if I remained in the Republican Party. I have put a lot of effort into encouraging other Never Trump Republicans to publicly speak out against him more often too. I spent years in lockstep with the GOP, but the rise of Trump shook me to my senses and I learned a hard lesson. I won't ever be loyal to the party again as long as he has control and influence over it. [/QUOTE]
