I like to think I’d do the same thing as Alan here if the shoe were on the other foot. But I think it’s too easy to just say that you would and understates how admirable it is.
Bravo.

I saw this without seeing what you were responding to and definitely thought it was going to be a sarcastic remark!
I'd turn on a dime on the Dems if their president did something like this EZ
There’s the option to abstain (especially if you live in DC) and Alan didn’t take it.

Such a good point. If the election were something like RFK or Tulsi Gabbard or Blagojevich running against a Paul Ryan type, would I publicly come out for the GOP candidate? I’d like to think so but impossible to know.
I wish some enterprising reporter would go to that questioner and say, “So, how did he do? Did he win back your vote?”
Making not voting for the worst person on earth in any sense "admirable" lowers the bar so far you'd have to go to the Mariana Trench to find it.
Democrats would never nominate someone like Donald Trump for POTUS, so luckily we don’t have to make such a choice.
