Republican or Democrat?

Vote for the Democrats or the Republicans? That’s what I’m asking myself heading into the primary election on Tuesday.
Should I vote Republican in order to weigh in on who will represent the GOP in November, or vote Democrat and have a hand in voting for that party’s representative for state senate in my district?
Those are the two main things to think about, at least in the City of Wayne, where I live. You can’t vote for a person of one party in one race and a person of another party in a different race, since split tickets won’t be counted.
The governor race, to me, is easy. Anybody would be an improvement, and the Republicans probably have that locked up.
I think that will push me to the Democrat side of the ballot, in order to weigh in on the Senate Race in the 8th District. Despite the anti-Democrat feeling I sense throughout the state, I don’t know if a Republican can steal this seat in November, which means the right Democrat needs to be on the ballot to oppose him. For me, that’s Mike Kell. He seemed to have a good head on his shoulders and nowadays, that’s a refreshing change.
