Why would I vote for Johnson? Cruz won't be the GOP nominee, so the party's safe!
Because Trump would easily be worse for the economy than Hillary but voting for democrats isn't palatable?
Also, how can you think the party is safe? The last thing the GOP needs is to be further solidified as the party for whites and against everyone else.
I'm sure putting up some preppy schoolkid who won't break 30% in a Republican primary in his own state will do wonders for GOP electability!
Its time to stop thinking of just this election cycle; Trump and Cruz won't beat Hillary anyway. I'm worried about damage on future elections. GOP midterm advantage won't last forever and the Presidential map doesn't start looking any easier four or eight years down the line if we don't start attracting more Hispanic voters.
Perhaps I am thinking about more than just this cycle. Why should I have to vote only for candidates that support unfair trade? Note, I voted for Kasich since I couldn't stomach the thought of Cruz getting second in Michigan which--yikes--apparently he did. The GOP's mid-term advantage has probably been incredibly destructive to its ability to bill itself as an effective party worthy of governance, so I'm not sure why that'd be so necessary to preserve. And is one under the impression than Hispanics will vote Republican en masse once the GOP embraces "sensibility" and stays the course on every other issue while favoring amnesty? Any actually constructive attempt to reach out to minorities would involve, y'know, some sort of effort, I imagine rather than nominating a Cuban boytoy who happens to have a Spanish last name.
