To keep this from breaking the rules we are only going to talk about political Party A (your party) or political Party B (the other party(s)) So please no alluding to any real parties let just keep this in the realm of hypotheticals and stay within the boundaries of the question.
Party A (your party) is running two candidates in a primary for a major national office. One candidate is CD/TS the other candidate is not but other then that they have the same leadership qualities and the same dedication to the party platform.
1.You have the rare opportunity to cast the deciding vote. Do you cast it for the CD/TS candidate and try to make a big leap forward for the CD/TS community or do you go with the other candidate fearing a CD/TS candidate will not survive the general election and lose and it is better to get Party A into office?
2. The CD/TS candidate loses the primary but Party B has nominated a CD/TS candidate. Does this change how you might vote in a general election?
