I wonder how many Republicans are willing to go to the polls just to play spoiler. I would think that if the numbers were really high, it would have been enough to bring Texas to Sanders, who they perceive as the weakest Democrat candidate in the general election.

Even though I think that open primaries are absurd, if not unconstitutional, because outsiders can help pick another parties candidate, if I were a staunch Republican with a fixed candidate, I would have gone to the polls to wreak havoc on the Democrats by voting for their weakest candidate. It would be no skin off my teeth as I would be going to the polls anyway; I have never missed an opportunity vote, thereby justifying my right to complain.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
