Trump is better than Kabala in every way possible. If you see them equals you should get your head examined by a doctor as something ain't working right in there. On one hand we have Trump who can do a podcast 3 hours straight and talk about anything, and then we have Kabala who can't create one full sentence that makes any sense and constantly laughing like a mental patient.

This is the same impression I have, although I understand that ideologically there are people who would never vote for Trump and/or would vote for any Democratic candidate against the Republican.

I can't even believe she is getting any votes at this point. She shouldn't be getting more than 2%.

Here I think you are overdoing it. Try to put yourself in the shoes of people who don't think like you.

Theymos should stop playing Washington Post, man up like Elon and declare his support for Trump.

Haven't you realized that his thinking is much more complicated than that?

Obvious problem, you will not vote it because you know there is no chance of it winning

I won't vote because I don't live in the USA.

Replace then "will not" with "would not". I personally live as an AI in Paxmania in a cloud server in an unmapped island in the Pacific as far as this forum is concerned.

But the problem is the same, you may have a better idea, a better programme and the purpose to regenerate politics, but you need to convince a number of people in a party that stands a chance and then try to win. The need to gather funds and support is built into the system and creates certainly many wrong incentives and it is difficult to change or regenerate a party. Speaking of which, what will be the Republican party from now on?

Case (1) Trump looses. Does the party keep in the same line, but with out without Trump?
Case (2) they win and Trumps goes for a third mandate. Would the party by then be strong enough to opose after the purges?
Case (3) they win, Trump steps down, but... will he still be the power in the shadow?

If you want to regenerate, it would seem that even if you have to vote covering your nose, it may be worth to at least make sure Trump looses.
