    I get the feeling that you would vote for Donald Trump if he switched party and the DNC was somehow okay with it.

    Who do you favor? Donald Trump (D) vs Jefferson Davis ( R)? Or third party?

      Well, since the orange shitstain just sits in the “first bedroom”, eating KFC and watching Animal Planet and doesn’t actually have any convictions or positions of his own and the entire administration would actually be calling all the shots, I would likely vote for Trump in that case once in the voting booth. Trump was actually a Democrat until 2009, he could have the Dem nominee if all of this had played out a particular way in 2008 instead of 2016. That said, I definitely would have been trying everything to keep the DNC from picking Trump up until the convention.

      I guess it depends on who was really running against Trump since a 140 year old confederate corpse wouldn’t be.

        Right, that’s what I was thinking. I admit Jefferson Davis was probably a bad example, but I was trying to go for someone who is clearly worse than Trump. With the scenario of:

        • The Republicans abandon Trump and instead support a young guy who openly advocates war with Denmark, annexing Canada, and nuking the fuck out of Britain and France. This individual has also been leading a small scale guerilla war against Canada with some gun nut crazy people.
        • The window shifts so far to the right that the DNC accepts Trump as a viable primary candidate. MAGA switches over to the Democrat party in droves, and some elements of the media assist Trump in the primary. Trump somehow wins despite his opposition’s best efforts.
        • General becomes Trump ( D ) vs The Guy Who’s at War with Canada ( R )

        Under such circumstances, I can see the Blue No Matter Who folks voting for Trump of their own free will in the general, because “he’ll die of old age soon anyway”.

      I get the feeling you would suck Trump’s dick if it tasted like candy and everyone was weirdly cool with it, but we don’t live in your wackass alternate realities. The differences between party policies is night and day, and Trumps antics would get him removed in an instant if it were up to every GOP and 20 DNC.

        So you would absolutely vote for him if you saw “Donald Trump (Democratic Party)” on the ballot? Thank you for clearing that up.

            I’m talking about who you would favor if there’s a presidential election between Donald Trump’s third term, on the Democratic ticket, and a despicable fascist who gives a new definition to the word evil, on the Republican ticket. And some third party candidates.

            Does Blue No Matter Who still hold? I just want to clarify how strongly you believe in “No Matter Who”.

              I’ll answer your hypothetical with another: Would you prefer to fondle your grandfather or have your grandfather fondle you?

              The DNC candidate is chosen by primary, and Trump demonstrably would never have a chance since he tried it like 16 years ago.

                Once again you avoid the question. Suppose Trump finds some way to get through the primary. Election rigging, legitimate support, whatever. He won. Now that he won the hypothetical primary, who do you vote for?

                  Once again you avoid the question. Suppose you have to fondle your grandfather before he fondles you. You’re locked in a basement or whatever and the door doesn’t open until fondling happens. Which do you choose?

                    You’re giving me the impression that you do have a limit for “No Matter Who”, but you don’t want to admit it.
