Gus Hall is dead, Tim. But if Trump is the nominee, I'm certain

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.


That's at odds with statements you've made in the past.
You have stated several times that you would support and vote
for the Democrat nominee period. You are a party guy.



Well, how could I support the Republican nominees, when those nominees
take positions that are racist, anti-student, anti-woman, anti-abortion,
anti-immigrant, anti-environment, anti-worker, et cetera, and are so
proud of it. I disagree with the Republicans on almost every issue. You
want me to vote for people like that?
