If nominee was someone OTHER than your choice would you vote for them? For me its an absolute NO! Not only am I no in agreement with ANYONE else on the republican side but I find them all bought and paid for. Trump is not and can not be bought,he is an enigma like I am and shoots from the hip. The closest I could come is Cruz but the simple fact he is bought and paid for and is bound to his donors to do as they please AND he is very very very loyal to Israel and actually got mad at middle eastern Christians when they booed him for saying Israel is a great friend etc and he walked off stage! I could possibly vote for Sanders but his social stances disgust me.So for me it would be sitting at home or voting 3rd party because I really wouldn't care who won if Trump wasn't nominee.

I will vote for whoever the Republican candidate is come November.

But living in my state it doesn't matter much anyway, it will go to Hilary

Not in a primary, but in November yes. I am Bernie all the way, I think he is the only half decent candidate on either side (well, actually I kind of like Kasich, but he has no chance, and I wouldn't choose him over any democrat because he will by nature of his party wind up passing some incredibly horrible BS). Thus Bernie gets my primary vote.

However, when it comes to the November elections? I'm pulling for the democratic candidate whoever it is, and whoever the opponent it. Because the Republicans have become a party of ignorant morons, and our country can't take a teabagger presidency.

Yes. Bernie is my first choice, but if he isn't the nominee and Hillary is, I would vote for her over anyone in the GOP field.

If my candidate dropped out before the primary, but was still on the ballot, I will not make the mistake I did in the previous primary. I voted for them anyway (as did others) thinking I was sending a message of protest. Instead, the media took it to mean we were too stupid to know the candidate dropped out so instead, I would stay home if that happened in 2016.

In the General Election, I could see myself voting for one or two other candidates who I shall not mention but the likelihood of them being the candidate is much smaller than my first choice. So, I would not vote.

Depends. I have voted for someone other than my first, second or third choice in the last 2 elections. I will have to decide whether to deal with that sell out decision this time or not, depending on who ends up with the nomination.

Bush - NOPE
Huckabee - NOPE
Christie - NOPE
Kasich - NOPE
Carson - NOPE
Rubio - leaning NOPE
Trump - leaning NOPE
Rand - I would vote
Fiorina - I would vote

I'll probably vote for any Republican over Hillary. But if it's Trump I'll be getting drunk before and after.

Why? From your posts I assumed you were right wing as could be....what's wrong with Trump? Who do you prefer?

I was on the Paul bandwagon in 2008 and 2012 ended up voting for him in primaries but in general election I was NOT going to vote for McCain or Romney,Especially Romney after their treatment of Paul supporters. I ended up voting for Constitution Party in 2008 and Libertarian party in 2012. Not a libertarian but at time I leaned that way. My views have evolved more since then,mostly in the economic areas.
