I will not vote for Trump in the Tennessee primaries on March 1, but I most likely will if he gets the nomination and Hillary is the rat party nominee. Even if Sanders is the nominee, which I doubt.

Nope.
You summed up your opinion very succinctly and now I realize you're not alone.

I had a huge wake-up call this last Thanksgiving when I traveled out of state to visit my very large extended family for the holiday. Although I'm not religious, my family is very devout in their Christian beliefs and I respect them tremendously for their faith.

There were 17 adults of voting age in the family gathering and all are "very conservative" in political viewpoints. These adults and their children are not acclimated to the modern, debased pop culture in America which is something I admire. Only one relative would even entertain the thought of voting for Mr. Trump and he got some stern looks from the others. After much pleading, I got them to promise to vote and skip the presidential race if they must. Deserving candidates down ballot should not be punished by staying home on election day.

If Mr. Trump is the GOP nominee, we shouldn't be surprised if millions don't show up at the polls in the same numbers or greater that were no-shows for Romney in 2012. I seriously doubt the arguments and tone of this article by Doug Giles will be persuasive to a large segment of social conservatives.
