When there is only going to be a viable choice between two candidates, then I will choose the best of the two. There are NO perfect candidates, but that won't make me abstain from voting. And I will definitely not waste my time by voting for someone that no one knows and has no chance of winning. If you have a candidate in mind, then you should be promoting that candidate so everyone knows who he/she is and how they view issues. If not, then your protests are nothing more than wasted effort.
I am not even going to entertain the notion of voting for someone that has no chance at all of winning the general election. No one sees a protest vote. No one cares about the protest vote.
I voted in the primary and my candidate did not win. That does not mean that I will refuse to vote in the General election. It means that I will vote for the best of the two that got nominated. It's the will of the people, not my sole choice.

ONLY bought and paid for candidates get "media time". They ignore any REAL competition to their two party corruption. That's why you don't hear about them. I think the whole Trump brouhaha is misdirection.
It's YOUR vote, who YOU want, it's not a contest to choose the winner, it's a contest for you and others to MAKE the winner!
They place their guy, a known liar and thief in front of you and you obligingly say sure. People, they're such strange and stupid creatures!

I was not concerned with which candidate had the best chance of winning because in my opinion, ALL of the GOP candidates were better than the Democrat candidates. Now, I will vote for whichever GOP candidate wins the nomination. I vote on a combination of ideology, record and current views on issues. Once all of that is eliminated, I vote for the nominee of my party. My party is closest to my ideology, conservative. It used to be confusing in the long past, when we had a DemocratIC party and some candidates were conservative. The party of my father. Now, it is clear that the Democrat party is the party of liberalism and socialism. The Republican party is really too moderate for my liking, but even though it is middle, it's not yet hard left like the Democrat party. This gives me a clear choice of lesser of evils. Or, if "evil" is a bad choice of words, perhaps then the better of two substandard choices.
Like I have said before, I do not make protest votes. I believe in the process of elimination for the nomination. I don't play the wish-washie game of labeling myself an Independent. I am a Republican and I can still vote Democrat is I ever wished to. I have never wished to vote Democrat. And Independent is either a Democrat or a Republican that is too embarrassed to admit it.

ALL the D or R candidates are owned.
No you don't, you vote for the candidate they place in front of you. You think you "know them" because you saw political ads and saw them say a few words? You know what they WANT you to know.
You're voting for evil, not the lesser of two evils. Evil is evil and that's what these psychopaths are, evil.

There you go, the smartest one in the room. Elections really ARE a joke. We ARE hoodwinked. They ARE dirtbags who need a dirtnap. And yes, dumbasses, called "sheeple" do keep voting for the "lesser of two evils" OVER and OVER and OVER again..
