Do you agree with republicans voting for Hillary even though they don't want her to be president?

It's a good decision from a game, theoretical standpoint. A poor one from an ethical standpoint...assuming your ethics run towards maintaining the illusion  of freedom in politics. The idea is clearly to subvert the ideology of the free election. Your side has its candidate all figured out, so may as well do your best to screw things up on the other side of the aisle.

 Good, bad...who can say? Just don't do it and then pretend you ally yourself with one side or the other for moral reasons. If you reject morality in politics, and just want your side to win, then do what you must. You can not justifiably claim to affiliate with either party because they stand for things like freedom, honesty, a return to values that you cherish, etc., and then act in this manner. Because you aren't, then, that freedom-loving, honesty-loving, values-loving type of person. You're then the type of person who actively works to contaminate the process of free elections. Be honest about what you are, and then do what your heart tells you. Dirty pool is fine. Hypocrisy sucks.
