"I am sure you’ll do your part and vote for the Beast."

Don't ya' know that all PRINCIPLED conservatives will be staying home if Trump is the nominee because that worked so well in 2008 and 2012?

Apart from "I'll build a wall," the most exercised staple of the early Trump campaign was crowing about the primary election polls (which consistently gave him a plurality in the low to mid-30's in a badly divided field) and calling everyone else a loser, and worse. I am amazed that Trumpsters, who have strutted about for months boasting about the Republican primary polls, are so quick to dismiss the national general election polls that very consistently show The Donald as our weakest candidate in November, and a probable loser to Hillary. I understand the temptation to only look at polls you like. But I don't think it's very smart.

As for me, I will probably vote for the Republican nominee, though Trump has been sufficiently repulsive that for the first time in my life I will be tempted to abstain. (No, I will not vote for Hillary.) In the end, I would probably pull the lever for Trump and hope to be surprised, mainly because abstaining is a a cop out. But the man is an opportunistic demagogue who has spent this campaign speaking abusively about people who have been fighting the good fight for many years, during which Trump himself was a partisan and a funder for the other side. He professes to be a born again conservative, though he continues to apostatize every other time he opens his mouth. He does not inspire confidence. And when he commits blood libels against real conservatives, he forfeits respect.
