I wouldn't vote either. I HOPE the Dems are just scared that there COULD BE a prez Trump, they'll vote in droves.

We vote on the message first. Messanger 2nd. I would have been happy voting for Bernie in the GE, because I agreed with his message. But I thought Hillary was more capable of delivering because she is a messanger that more people would listen to.

But, In my circle I've personally managed to persuade 4 lifelong Republicans to vote for Hillary, and helped mobilize our local Democrats to drive people to the polls. Not to mention I've had several dozen Democrats affirm they're going to the polls for our candidates.

Guess it depends on what side you're working for?

GOTV, please! we need every vote we can get this year for our down ticket races this year!

might end up backfiring, as RWNJs are probably the main ones who listen to him, not LWers or moderates.

Sounds like the people fed up are ditching Trump far more than Clinton. It's turned some die hard red states into possible swing states. For example, Romney defeated Obama in Utah by almost 50 points. Now the most recent poll shows a horde of voters dumping Trump and going for some guy named Evan McMullen, leaving Clinton and Trump tied! Trump 26%, Clinton 26%, McMullen 22%

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/300554-utah-poll-trump-clinton-tied-mcmullin-within-striking

That's two ways for Trump to lose 6 electoral votes in a Republican stronghold. Either 6 votes lost to McMullen, or a 12 vote swing favoring Clinton.

And some of them are voting for Gary Johnson and some unknown guy.

They seem more willing not to care about supreme court but to stand up for what they really believe in.

I am FB friends with one lady from Utah, i met her on a diet thing, she is voting for the unknown guy and telling everyone not to vote for Evan, Trump or Hillary because they are for war and her religion is against it.

I just found it interesting how different Utah is than the other conservative states.
