Gus Hall is dead, Tim. But if Trump is the nominee, I'm certain you'll
vote for him.

I know, and Trump wasn't president nor a nominee in 2001. But if Hall
was alive you'd probably vote for him. (Using your logic, of course!)

Hall's successors end up endorsing the Democrat party candidate claiming
the Democrat party is closer to the Communist Party USA ideological
principles compared to the GOP.

As far as I can tell from today's leading GOP candidates, the Republican
Party has no principles whatsoever.

They have principles but few that I can comfortably subscribe to.
Trump has some fundamental beliefs outside of the Tea Party's take over
and influence but it's hard to imagine him as POTUS. He expresses some
of the popular frustrations but doesn't have any realistic fixes.

I suppose I *could* make life simple and just pick a party and be happy
to vote for it's nominee, regardless of who he or she is. Like you do.

Wow. No,I don't do that. I pick candidates whose positions on issues that
concern me align reasonably well with my positions. These days, that rarely
is a Republican and almost always is a Democrat. I don't waste votes on
third party candidates.

There is no bigger waste of your vote than to fail to vote for the
candidate you agree with the most.
It is that thinking that assures you will never change the status quo.

For the last 25 years, we have just got the big business candidate, no
matter which party won. Hillary will be the 5th Bush administration.

I don't fail to vote for the candidates I agree with the most. Those are
the candidates I vote for...
