We will see. Trumps had a very bad weekWith Hispanics women and changing demographics hillary might win texasThe GOP have no reason to change their agenda/tactics/policies as long as people in your state vote 3rd party or not at all. The worst thing they can see is they are losing votes to their real opponents. Your state will stay red with that attitude.The person voting third party is tossing his vote in the trash. He may be thinking for himself, but clearly doesn't understand the system, because he is voting for somebody who will never win, and thus he will not be represented. I may disagree with socialist like Bernie, but I respect him more than anybody else in the race because he walks the walk of his beliefs. The pantsuit bull dyke and the big orange clown are liars who are essentially power hungry, but if those are the only 2 who have any chance of winning, then I am forced to vote for one of them. Or I could be a "brave" free thinker like you and vote for somebody who has no shot, but I choose to have a voice. But hey, vote third party and then you can be a big man and say " I didn't vote for...." . Personally, I think the third party voter is either a coward or ignorant or possible an ignorant coward.
Never heard of the Electoral College I take it?
For anybody who lives in a lock-blue or lock-red state, that vote is ALREADY wasted. If I already know George Bush is going to win my state, then it makes zero difference whether I vote for him, vote for his Democrat opponent, or don't vote at all. All three have exactly the same result. And there's not a damn thing I can do about it.
That's why I go vote for Nader -- it's all the voice I have left.
Oh, and Texas might go blue this year
Good point, voting third party marginalizes your state. But I can't see Texas going for Hellary anymore than Cali going for Trump.
Look, she is likely going to win based on the electoral map, but Not Texas. That would be too embarrassing for the Cruzatics.
