Roughly half of those interviewed, including Ms. Gilman, said that in a Biden-Trump matchup, they would side with the Republican, while expressing varying degrees of discomfort. That number would almost certainly be higher in the actual results of the general election, after Americans have retreated further into partisan corners.
Probably vote for him. We’ve seen how spineless Republicans are enough times to see the pattern.
If we’re lucky, they’ll just stay home intead
Some will without question. Few people, be it Democrat or Republican, will vote outside of their party leaning but many people will simply not vote or throw their vote towards some obscure candidate.
I can only hope it’s many.
Aren’t the Dems voting against Biden in the primaries, ‘to send a message’, pretty much the same thing?
It’s similar except democratic voters aren’t fucking crazy.
Pretty sure that’s what they say about Dems too. But inflection is not a common trait.
It’s not to send a message, its to keep an insurrectionist criminal grifter out of office. In 2016 plenty of independents and progressives didn’t turn out for Hillary, that was to “send a message”, but nobody realized how weak our system was against a wannabe Putin and it’s even weaker now since there are apparently no major repercussions for the leader of the free world trying to steal an election.
Fall in line and vote for Trump.
No matter what they say, they do support him. Anyone who didn’t left the party years ago.
Exactly this will happen. They always fall in line.
It’s paywalled, but no worries, we all know the answer: they’re going to carefully examine the policies each candidate puts forth, consider their respective past job performances, and make a principled decision with their vote balancing their own interests as well as the country as a whole.
Just kidding! They’re going to be “uncomfortable” voting for the orange asshat who will do absolutely nothing for them and whose goals include revenge and “absolute immunity” so that he avoids any consequences of being a fraudster, rapist and traitor.
I didn’t want to, but there was no other option.
What about the other option?
Crickets.
The worthless shitbag traitors will vote for a worthless shitbag traitor.
It’s crazy that half this country has fallen so far.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“She would make a great president, and the alternatives are not appealing,” said Patti Gramling, 72, standing outside a bustling early-voting site on Wednesday in an upscale suburb of Charleston, S.C. “Biden is too old.
Ms. Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, is learning the limits of relying on moderate, college-educated and Trump-skeptical voters in today’s Republican Party.
In recent interviews with nearly 40 Haley supporters across South Carolina’s Lowcountry, primarily conducted in historically more moderate enclaves of the state, many fell into what pollsters call the “double haters” camp — voters who don’t like either expected nominee.
Jeff Heikkinen, 41, a caddie who lives in Summerville, S.C., said he had supported Mr. Trump in past elections but was troubled by his personal attacks on Ms. Haley involving her husband, a National Guardsman, and her background as the daughter of Indian immigrants.
Joe Mayo, 72, a retired operator at a nuclear power plant who now lives in Mount Pleasant, called Mr. Trump “arrogant” and “stupid” and said that he did not “represent my thoughts about the way business should be done.”
Lynn Harrison Dyer, a businesswoman in her 60s from Mount Pleasant, noted proudly that she was the daughter of a World War II veteran and said she was supporting Ms. Haley in part because she “honors the military.”
The original article contains 1,685 words, the summary contains 220 words. Saved 87%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I know most of them will vote for Trump anyway but I believe a non-trivial amount will simply stay home. I’m in a deep red state and know a few Haley supporters who hate Trump and would die before voting for him. It mostly seems to be Republican women.
