    I root for her only because she’s pissing off Trump, which I enjoy.

      I agree, but also I think that it’s dangerous. I don’t think she has a chance in the primary, but if she does win I do think she has a chance in the general. Her policies are horrible, but it seems like none of that matters to anyone anymore. She’s dangerous.

          I don’t know. I think she has a better shot at the general than Trump. She has almost no chance in the primary because the republican party is poisoned by Trump, but she is more appealing to anyone else who hasn’t stayed behind him. Most people are aware of how bad Trump would be, because we’ve already seen it. They aren’t aware of how bad she’ll be because they don’t actually know anything about her.

      I thought about voting for her in the Ohio primary this year just to try and get under Trump’s skin, but that would lock in my voter registration until next year and I don’t think I could stomach having an R next to my name and having my mailbox stuffed full of their propaganda for a year.
      Then again, having an R next to my name might be a good survival strategy if Trump gets in office and legalizes liberal hunts or something of the sort.

          To clarify, when it cones time to voke, you can vote for whoever you want, but primaries are how the parties pick who they get behind. Generally it isn’t allowed to vote in the primary for more than one party, or some people would vote in all primaries, helping put their candidate into multiple parties, or tanking a party by poisoning their ballot.
