I completely understand why some conservatives are horrified at the prospect of Donald Trump being the Republican nominee for president. I understand their discomfort with his bluster, with his lack of any history supporting conservative ideas, with his many contributions to Democrat candidates, with some elements of his track record in business. Some of it bothers me too, although I do think a lot of the handwringing is over things that dont really matter that much.
But look, sure, nominating a guy like Donald Trump is in all kinds of ways contrary to what conservative movement types have advocated for decades. I wanted a conservative governor with a really solid record of governing achievements using conservative policy ideas, which is why I was so all over Scott Walker in the early going - and why I think to this day that it was a mistake not to give Rick Perry more serious consideration.
But hey, thats how it went. Right now Trump appears to be the odds-on favorite for the nomination, and a lot of conservatives are beside themselves of it. I get it.
But what I dont get is the currently popular fad of self-styled conservative intellectuals declaring that they will never vote for Trump, even if he is the nominee, and even if it means Hillary Clinton becomes president.
Snip....

Vote Trump.
In 2013, Hillary spoke at the Children's Defense Fund's 40th Anniversary Celebration in Washington on September 30th.
search Hillary Laughs Daily Mail
Except if you go by the poll data in every state, Hillary beats Donald 419 to 119.
Amen.
YES, Trump should be the nominee for the Democrat party.
You must be looking at very old polling data, current polling data show otherwise.
I will support Trump if nominated and fully support him against any GOPe/RNC funny business at the convention.
So is pond scum.
Or your looking at polling data from a hopeful future
The rest of the politicians are globalists owned by globalist rich donors.
Only Trump is an America first patriot and he's no marxist but a capitalist!
Only Trump will build the wall!
Only Trump will stop the evil TPP or obamatrade
Only Trump will stop China!
Cruz is the better man. But between Trump and Hillary, in fact between Trump and any other Republican, its an easy choice. Go Trump.
I also read that during the trial Hillary said that the 12 year old victim had a history of enticing men, and really dragged her thru the mud.
This is from the Daily Beast, a democrat site, which surprised me.
Nope
I had heard of this as well. I hope Donald Trump brings it up during the presidential debates.
How did the polling data model the double R turnout compared to D?
Thought so ...
It is possible that something would happen between now and November to cancel that effect.
Agree...unfortunately or fortunately for Trump, they will ask him questions and want details. Hillary they will ask her favorite color and questions about gay marriage and abortion. I do feel Trump needs to study up on policy both foreign and domestic. He will most certainly not get the Obama treatment...as that community organizer never gave details on anything.
Whatever its faults, terminal cancer is superior to Hillary in every way. Whatever his faults, Trump is superior to Jeb/Christie/Rubio/Kasich in every way. The difference between Trump and Hillary is Yuge!
Pretty low bar there. A barnacle is superior to Hillary in every way ...
Hillary is a coward and a weak person who is afraid of FOX news. She is a pathological liar and stupid as can be seen from her lies. How could she ever stand up to foreign leaders? Or anybody?
