May 4, 201610 yr Likewise, I also expect the GOP to rally ... because there's only one direction to go (up) when you're lying in the road after the bus just ran you over. The GOP hates Hillary more than they do Trump. They will come out and vote for Trump just to guarantee Hillary doesn't get in. Would they do it today, no. There is still 6 months before the general election to get out the #anyonebutHillary message.

There is still 6 months before the general election to get out the #anyonebutHillary message. Very interesting in Washington Post today. A paragraph from said story: "For some Republicans, the prospect of a President Clinton is more palatable than a President Trump — not because they like Clinton, but because they could fight her on familiar terrain, rather than watching an unpredictable Trump use the power of the White House to remake the GOP." Anti-Trump Republicans confront a dilemma: Are they ready to help elect Clinton? - The Washington Post

I personally have not heard one Republican who hates Trump enough to fall on a sword for career criminal Hillary. They make up stories to try to discourage and sway public opinion. Besides Trump is a republicrat. There is no true conservative running anymore. He wins in a beat down.

Why yes, they do. Goodness, if we base all knowledge on the Kentucky personal eyeball test, there wouldn't be much info sharing, would there?

I trust the good souled people I know.
May 4, 201610 yr I thought Mexico was going to build the wall? Wouldn't that mean jobs for Mexicans, not Americans? America is going to build it.....Mexico is going to pay for it.....per Donald.....and that's Donald Trump, not Duck :isurrender:
May 4, 201610 yr Hillary has had 12 million total votes cast for her. Trump has had 10 million total votes cast for him. Who of the Cruz or anti-Trump faction stays home that voted in the Republican primary? Who of the Bernie or anti-Hillary faction stays home that voted in the Democratic primary? Who goes toward a third party? Could we see significant results for BOTH a Libertarian Party candidate and a Green Party candidate? Lots of unanswered questions remain. But if a secondary question is "Do you take a Trump presidency as serious as a heart attack in a way you absolutely didn't 12 months ago?" Then the answer is an unequivocal "Yes." I for one didn't go vote in the Republican primary. As someone who has a BA in political science my folks were shocked. I just didn't feel the need given the known outcome. I was correct.
May 4, 201610 yr My info is from my surroundings. I like my Kentucky eyeball test. I trust the good souled people I know. I talk to my neighbors, too. Unfortunately, what transpires in KY tells us little about trends in national elections. Which is why generalizations based on yard signs in Independence, Ky., or the fact that someone's union brother-in-law intends to vote for Trump tell us zilch about the big picture.

Goodness, if we base all knowledge on the Kentucky personal eyeball test, there wouldn't be much info sharing, would there? They are both opinion columnist. The editorial board for the Post is very liberal. Is that even really a discussion ?
May 4, 201610 yr I know a lot of Republicans that didn't support Trump. None that I've spoken with plan on sitting out or not voting for Trump, the reason...Mrs. Clinton being his opponent. I think HRC is going to have the opposite of the Obama effect of the last two elections. The President was able to get voters energized to get out and vote for him, many voting for the first time in years. The same voters that stayed home during the McCain and Romney runs will be out in force this election, against HRC as much as for Trump.

People really underestimate how much voters in the GOP dislike Hillary. I've heard " I guess I have to vote for Trump now" more in the last 2 days than I've heard of any candidate in my lifetime.
May 4, 201610 yr No way Trump can get enough voters to the polls to beat Clinton. He's trailing 81 to 16 in non-white favorability in a direct race with Hillary. Can anyone explain to me why any black, brown, latino etc are for the Democrats? I understand Trump is scaring the illegals by threats to send them back, but what has the Dems done to help any of these groups more than anyone else?

I have no doubt that many GOPers will vote for Trump because they dislike Hillary. I understand that. However, the flip side of this coin is that even more lukewarm Dems, independents, moderate R's (primarily females) will vote for Hillary because they view a Trump presidency as downright scary.
