There's only one GOP candidate that I'd vote for right now. There are a couple of others that keep saying they won't run, who I'd vote for in a nanosecond.

But if the final Republican candidate is as ill-prepared for the job as several of those who have announced their candidacies, yeah that would cause a problem for me. I'd be torn between voting for the guy with four years' experience and who has done some good things, and a lot of things that I didn't like...or simply witholding my vote from anyone.

If you said I had to make up my mind right now, based on those running, I'd probably not be checking a box for POTUS and VPOTUS. I will vote for those running for the House and the Senate, and I can say for sure that I will NOT be voting for the incumbents in those positions.

My logic is that the two votes I'll have for Congress will send only 2 of 535 to Washington. There's a chance they might be able to withstand the political and financial pressures to make them toe the party line. But there's only one POTUS, and he speaks for the country. I couldn't purposely vote for a candidate that I believed to be incompetent to fill that position.
