In a few short months, primary voters will begin selecting the Republican presidential nominee. The two debates thus far have been underwhelming. A third is approaching on Nov. 8, but it, too, promises to be the kind of unhelpful event that lacks the virtue of at least being entertaining. Yet I’ll be watching — tuned in and deciding which candidate to support. I’m not a Republican, but I’ll play one on Super Tuesday, March 5.
Your picking a side to disrupt and add weight to an unlikable candidate who will lose badly in the general election.
Republicans did this with Bernie Sanders hoping he would win not Hillary Clinton in 2016. It works better in local and state elections where you can organize the effort.
