I hope I'm wrong.
I STRONGLY disagree with the "stay at home" idea...

If you truly don't like all of the candidates in the presidential election, then don't vote for any...But to deprive a lower court or local elected official because of that is wrong IMO...You could be abstaining from voting for the next person who DOES have your platform in mind, and you'd end up hurting them in the process...

Anybody take a look at the total number of votes cast so far? From what I remember, even when there were several Republicans running, weren't there more democrats voting than republicans? That might be an indication for who is gonna take the primaries.

I agree with you.

Still, I think that a lot of Republicans might just sit this one out to make a very strong point to the leaders of the GOP.
