That failure reflected on them and their lack of dignity. I could not in good conscience identify with such cowards.
I have thought about it. I had pollsters call, and I identify as conservative, but as independent. I refuse to answer when they try to push it down to a binary choice. In November, I voted for some libertarians for some local offices, and there were some local races in which I did not vote, because I did not see an acceptable option. In TX, you don't formally register as one party, they just ask which primary ballot you want. I will likely still ask for the R ballot, mainly because for statewide races, the Republican primary is effectively the election.
Now the list of Rs I'll give money to is pretty short and is limited to people who opposed Trump from beginning to end. Like Ben Sasse and Mike Lee.

We're going to disagree on almost every policy position out there, but you'll have more influence in fixing the fundamental problem here than I will.
