The last couple of elections have seen the Republicans here calling for libertarians and independents to hold their nose and vote for the GOP candidate instead of voting for Ron Paul (or any other third party candidate).

At the moment, Trump leads the GOP field according to this CNN article.

While I don't expect he'll end up in the general election, this does make me wonder: if Trump ended up as the GOP candidate in November, 2016, would Arfcom's Republicans hold their noses and vote for him as the lesser of two evils as they have urged people to do for RINO candidates John McCain and Mitt Romney?

Hell no, and I didn't vote for McCain or Romney, either.  But as I've said before, my vote doesn't matter, even if I had thousands of votes to my name.

Trump is ideologically on the same side.  And no, they don't care about my vote, because my vote does not matter.  I could vote 100,000 times and not change the outcome.  In statewide votes, for a Rightist, voting is pretty much futile.  I only bother to keep my active voter status or because there are more local races where my vote actually might, just barely, count for something (but probably not).

While the accuracy of CNN's article is irrelevant to the question posed in the OP, I have changed the wording to reflect the data you have posted and more accurately represent what's at the link.

Not doing it. I'm sick of politicians in the back room, cutting deals. Trump is a deal making MF'er if there ever was one. No more "reaching across the aisle". Fuck you, stop compromising everything away one "deal" at a time.

I don't follow politics too much...I'm a Californian conservative, which means my vote doesn't count for shit...

...but is this guy really being taken seriously?  He's a clown!  Is this who we really want running things?  The guy's a businessman, not a politician!

He brings what kind of experience to the table?  Why are people listening to him?  Because he has money?
Is it because he married a foreign woman, because GD can't handle American women?

...and what's she going to do?  What does our Slovenian First Lady Melanie bring to the table--First Lady branded jewelry on QVC?

This is...preposterous.    

I'll never vote for him.

Trump brings bona fide  executive experience to the table; the President is the Chief Executive.

His negotiating experience also would serve this country well.

Better than Obama's and Kerry's don't you think.


Ronald Reagan was an actor; of what possible use would his skills bring to the Presidency?......(rhetorical question)

Seems more like a straight talker Is this who we really want running things?  The guy's a businessman, not a politician! Polls have shown that many people regret not voting for Romney because he was a business man and probably would have been better for the economy than a jug eared community organizer

He brings what kind of experience to the table?   Oh none at all, career politicians are so experienced Why are people listening to him?  Because he has money? Why do people listen to celebrities and musicians ? Would you take financial advise from a guy on a corner begging for money or a CEO?
Is it because he married a foreign woman, because GD can't handle American women? She's hot, and hot

...and what's she going to do?  What does First Lady Melanie bring to the table--First Lady branded jewelry on QVC? Probably keep her lips zipped

This is...preposterous.  To you, maybe even to me, but do you think he'll run anything worse than any other candidates?

I'll never vote for him.

Your vote doesn't matter because you're not using it. I don't give a shit how liberal your state is, you'll never change it by not voting against them. Your one vote might not mean much, but when 500,000 other people are thinking the same thing it does. 4 million people like you stayed home the last election and gave us Obama for another four.
