Trump was not my choice in the primaries.

But, the primaries are over, the convention is over, and the Trump/Pence ticket is who the Republicans have as candidates.

We face a binary choice now that the primary process is over.

You can vote for Trump, with all misgivings about how he will be as president, or else, you will get Hillary.

The numerous minor party candidates have no chance of being elected. At best they will simply take some votes away from the 2 major party candidates.

We all have to make choices in life, and often our choices are not between an ideal situation and a bad situation. This is one of those times for the never Trump people.

It’s a binary choice. If you are a never Trump person then you will help elect Hillary.

I don’t want to think about how the 2020 election is going to go. How does it make sense to let Hillary win now, and then try again with a new candidate in 2020?

We have a major national election three months from now. While we may not have the ideal Republican according to many on the GOP side, it’s either Trump or Hillary now.

I’m on the flip side of you.

I was not a Romney fan, and I actually loathe and detest John McCain. But they each emerged victorious from the primaries, and I held my nose and voted for both as I knew how the alternative of President Obama would be so utterly destructive.

It is really not cool seeing how many Republicans who preached this philosophy now won’t support Trump.

Personally, I’m damn glad Trump is not an ideal Republican because what we desperately need is a President who is an America-first patriot, and I don’t believe there’s an ideal Republican who is one.
