It's rather depressing really... It's like having done all he can to "win" the votes for the democrats by beating Hillary, he's decided to do an about-face to win over as many republicans as he can. The goal isn't to actually do what's right, but to be "electable", a thing I've always considered deplorable. The attempt will ALWAYS corrupt a politician, always.
So far, at least he's still preferable, but it's another lesser of two evils scenario if this keeps up.
And, if a candidate that is actually honest does emerge, and his policies truly reflect what I think would be good, I won't hesitate to vote. If someone doesn't vote for someone because "they think they won't win", well way to continue a vicious cycle idiot! That's like littering because "well my one cup isn't going to save the world".

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
