re: #118 Backwoods_Sleuth

He says he will not cast a vote for president.
However (and other lizards may remember this), there was one particular race in Illinois where he said something similar early in the campaign season. Then, after the election said he had voted for the Republican candidate (a woman, but I can’t recall her name) that he had earlier said he would NOT vote for because she was such a nutzo. After he said he had indeed voted for her, he said he didn’t know who she was other than she wasn’t the Dem candidate and admitted that the (R) after her name was the only reason she got his vote.

The candidate was Susanne Atanus in 2014 for the Illinois-9 congressional district.

Atanus is barking mad, even for a Republican, and had come in for some well-deserved mockery here.

As I recall, DF admitted voting for her in the Republican primary because it would be good to have a woman running for office as a GOPer (i.e., tokenism).
