...Independents stay home?
Steve C (below) How do you confuse staying home with voting for someone?

Actually it would probably bring them out to vote republican.

BTW I hope and pray Hillary wins the democrat nomination. Please Please.

If Hillary is the nominee I am voting for the Green Party Candidate or an Independent candidate.

Today Hillary voted for the Kyl-Lieberman Ammendment calling the Iranian Republican Guard "Terrorists."
How is she any different on this issue than Bush?
How was she any different on the Iraq War than Bush before 2007 (now gearing up for the election and measuring those polls she talks like she's "Anti-War, but infact supports 50,000-75,000 U.S. Troops to stay in Iraq to "fight al Qaida" and protect "our interests"-Oil.)
How would I possibly trust her after she didn't even look at the National Intelligence Report on Iraq in 2002 which contradicted the Bush administration propaganda?

You probably include Libertarians in "independents".

Personally, I'll only stay home if there isn't a candidate that I feel could have been a weekend guest with Thomas Jefferson without him beating them to a pulp.

Only Independents who realize their vote might get her elected. Or they could vote for her. Or they could vote for whoever wins the Republican primary.

Same choices regardless.

well if you can sleep at night with another republican in the White House be our guest...

Exactly how is any candidate "allowed" to win a primary?

Interesting...who do you think would "allow" this? Dems? They still conduct primaries in voting booths, don't they?

Yes. Then again, I voted independent when George HW Bush tried for a 2nd term, and I did the same thing when George W. Bush ran twice.

They all stink. Not one of the runners is worth a nickel to me.

So you think more independents will vote for the Repub. after the last six years?...good luck withh that
