Anyway, right now, my plan is to vote for Donald Trump. Not because I like him or think he'll do the best job for president, but rather because with my vote for Trump, I'm sending a message to Washington that I'm fed up with the current state of politics here in America. Now, I recognize that if Trump wins, that may not be the message that is received, but my expectations are that no matter who wins, things will pretty much stay the same.
With that said, I would really rather have my vote go to someone I favor instead of just sending a message. So, with that said, I want you to convince me to vote for a 3rd party candidate. I don't care if they have a chance at winning. Just convince me, a conservative Republican not in favor of Trump, that [fill in the blank] would be a good choice.
Please don't tell me not to vote for Trump and why, because the whole point of this thread is that I want to vote FOR someone. The last time I voted FOR someone and not against someone was when I voted for George W. Bush.
So, have at it.
Your logic fails.
The worst way to send the message that you are fed up with the current state of politics in Washington is to vote for either of the two major parties.
Voting for the same party you always vote for does not send any message at all escept that you will vote Republican no matter how crazy their candidate is.
