However, I understand your right to be true to your beliefs and respect that you do.
If another worthy candidate rises up and shows promise of beating either candidate, I would consider him/her.

Since there's none at the moment, I agree with BC, the goal here is to remove Trump first.

Anyone, even Biden, is a much better alternative than the cheetos in chief.

I honestly believe our republic will not survive another 4 years of his abuse.

I don't expect anyone to rise up to be a realistic challenge to Trump or Biden. My intention is to vote straight democratic. It seems obvious that nothing will get done unless the democrats control both the house and the senate.

Good point. I really want mitch to step down as well. His republican majority senate handicapped a lot of obama era appointments and policies.

True. But when Obama took office, I believe he had a Democratic House and Senate. THAT would have been the time to introduce the ACA. Or anything else really that might have helped to rebuild the middle class. Who controls what usually means little to the average citizen in modern politics. At least so it seems. If RBG passes away though... Hold on to your butts.

And yes, I can't wait for Mitch to leave office. One of the few politicians I dislike more than Trump. Close second for Trump, Schumer, Pelosi, and Paul Ryan.

I've never voted straight ticket, but have been tempted to vote against the incumbent throughout the ticket. Usually one race or another keeps that from happening though.

Is there any incumbent senators or congressman you like?
