Republicans need to understand that it

will be the independent voters who decide the general election. If Republicans want a chance to win, they need to:

Stop voting for Trump. If he becomes their candidate, it will be the final nail in the GOP’s coffin!

Far- right candidates don’t have a chance of winning the general election.

Stop being the party for the rich and big business.

Stop ignoring facts such as global warming. Yes, it is happening, and it’s our fault.

If your candidate does not make it to the general election, you still need to vote! If you don’t vote, we may end up with another President Obama.

I don’t want to see Hillary Clinton in office! I don’t care what level of knowledge you have about computers. Anyone with any understanding of right and wrong would know that you should not be using private anything for government business.
