Disaffected Republicans, please check in HERE!
Ok, ok I know you're worried... you want to be able to read what we're saying and you're afraid you'll be banned if you post. But if you're supporting (or close to supporting) a Democratic Presidential Candidate this year, you probably won't get kicked out for posting a single non-disruptive reply to this thread. (I hope.) :)

If you need some encouragement first, check out this thread

In which a disaffected GOP voter put his .02 in and then went back into hiding, apparently without any serious repercussions.

I think many of us are curious as to just what it takes for a Democratic candidate to pick up some support from the other side. And if you're not one of the 24% who apparently will "vote for a turnip if it promises to kill foreigners," all the nasty comments you see about Republicans on this board are probably not directed at you. Shoot, my dad's a Republican. I love him anyway.

So be brave, give us your take on the final 3 Democratic candidates, which one you might possibly vote for and why!

Seriously I'm hoping to hear from a few more like the guy who came out of hiding in the other thread. 'Cause the fact of the matter is if a Democrat is gonna win in the GE this year, we're probably gonna need some help from the other side. Or at the very least, we'll need them to stay away from the polls and not come out to vote AGAINST someone they don't like on our side.
