You hate someone who insists on being labeled an independent while voting for one party almost exclusively? Oh, the irony.
Uh, I would have voted for Shenna Bellows in 2014. If the Republican candidate is terrible or the Democrats nominate 'the right candidate' for me, I would vote Democratic or Third Party. Also, I'm not a Senator, so it's really irrelevant.
Yeah, but the reason you hate her opponent is that you feel she's "not Republican enough" (a comical thing for you to think you can define ... as far as I'm concerned, Jeff Sessions isn't Republican enough for not voting with the vast majority of his party members for freer trade...), not because you might sometimes have a fondness for a Democrat...
