Are you saying buckle up and buckle down? That’s what I hear you saying and you’re right. I’m a diehard independent and have been for a couple of decades and my question is this: With my limited funds, I don’t know if it is better to support Liz or key Dems.

I’m not enamored with the far left any more than the far right and the both of them think all reasonable people should think the way they do, so I really am puzzling over this.

My honest view has come down to this: is the person I'm voting for going to be a threat to the Republic? I don't care what letter is by their name, it's as simple as are they/can they be someone who threatens the Republic. If not, and they have sane policies, vote for them. If they are...do everything you have to to stop them even if it means voting for people you otherwise would not

Well we’re on the same page. That’s how I evaluated most everything when voting in the primaries 1) are they a Trumper/election-denier and/or 2) do they speak of bipartisanship or do they only echo the most inflammatory partisan crapola?

sadly, if they have R next to them these days odds are they're both 1 & 2

Here in Pinellas County, Florida, all three Republican candidates for Tuesday's primary are vying to be the most Trumpish. "I'm the true Trump candidate!"; "No, "I'm the true Trump candidate!"; "No,..." Sounds a bit like they are trying to out-Monty Python Monty-Python's satire of Spartacus.

The joke will really be in the next two months if Trump's legal issues are serious enough to make all three scramble in the opposite direction.

That was sadly true. There was one R exception and I voted for him.

My reason for not voting for any Republican, even ones I like, is that Mitch and Kevin should never again wield a gavel in Congress.
