Given that what the parties represent has changed so frequently over the last 250 years, with you. But there isn't any chance of a snowball in h*ll that the people in power of whatever party are going to go to multi-party system. Hah, it's like having one of your legs hobbled- you still have to get around, right, so you're going to work around the disadvantage that you have and hope for the best. Unfortunately, sometimes that means voting for the lesser of two evils or whichever party happens to most match one's values. 

Curious, in Hay's county, what was the breakdown for Abbott and Dan Patrick? Here in Somervell, less than half of registered voters actually got out and voted and MORE people voted for Dan Patrick than Abbott so it can't have been straight party Republican voting in that case. The Somervell County Republicans CHOSE the nut.
