How could they have been? The corruption of Clinton is a clarion call for honest people to unite. Those who would make some arcane point of conservative purity by allowing Clinton to win are themselves liars in my book.
Here’s a thought experiment for you: Assume that the GOP delegates do manage to derail Trump and nominate someone else, unlikely though that might be.
Will you vote for Clinton’s GOP opponent if it’s not Donald Trump?
I ask this because the standard threat from Trump supporters is that if the nomination is “stolen” from him, the GOP is “dead to them” (which I take to mean that they will not support the nominee, thereby aiding Hillary’s chances.)
Seems to me that the road runs in both directions on this matter of allowing Hillary to win.
