NeverTrumpers are full of excrement. All of them. If they voted for McCain and/or Romney, they are utterly without integrity.

My stance is this.

You don’t go into battle with the army you want, you go into battle with the army you have....And like it or not, Trump is the army we have....and we need to fight the best we can.

Consciences aren’t inherently bad things, but they can be focused on inappropriate objects.

The problem is a fundamental misunderstanding of what a political vote constitutes.

It certainly does not constitute a heartfelt wish to God that each and every thing the entity receiving the vote wishes should become the new status quo.

Some people are so concerned about how superficial things make them look to God that they never see what lies beyond.

A political vote is a prudential act. Some people and some countries don’t have one at all; does this make them better people? If the political life of the country is a journey, and the goal is to get from the status quo of point A to point B, then anything closer to point B than point A is must represent an improvement.

Their conscience is all they will have left that they truly ‘own’ if we lose this one. At some point thereafter, it will be of little comfort.

...friends in the conservative movement are NeverTrumpers.

They are not conservatives.

Don Trump has never run or held office. One has to wonder what NeverTrumpers are basing their beliefs on. Personally, I think it’s just a guise of wanting Clinton to win.

There might be an honest nevertrumper out there somewhere, but most are just concerned with keeping their beds feathered

Of course who wins the election is more important than your precious conscience or how you feel about voting. Your country matters more than you do. Has America become so weak and self-absorbed that people no longer understand what it means to say, "It's not all about you, honey"?

I find this statement nonsensical, and indicative of the Trump cult's lack of critical thinking skills.

I can't think of anything else more "about you" than your vote. It's a completely individual decision that is only made by individuals. To suggest that one violate their conscience to be patriotic is oxymoronic.

Mr. Lopez needs a civics AND philosophy refresher.

The Republican Party gave us the least electable, least conservative candidate to run against an extremely weak and beatable Hillary Clinton. Now, Hillary Clinton will likely win by over 150 electoral votes, in what may be a Johnson/Goldwater blowout. That is the Republican Party and Trump voters' fault, not mine.

This is not a hard decision.
There are things I like about Trump and there are things I dislike.
There is NOTHING I like about Hillary.
On that basis alone the decision is not very hard.
But the kick in the ass comes with the thought, Who do I want appointing Supreme Court Justices? Clinton or Trump.
That lands it squarely in the no brainer camp!
If Trumps turns out to be a disaster (which any President can). He gets voted out in 4 years. The Justices appoited by the next President could be on the Court for 5-10 - 15+ years.

NeverTrump is really about Never-ending illegal alien inundation.

Those who claim to be conservative but will aid Hillary Clinton’s quest to become president by not supporting and voting for Trump are not conservatives.

Which of Trump’s major stated objectives as president are not on the wish lists of most real conservatives?

We are not electing a priest. We are electing a warrior. Trump is the best warrior available. He can mostly be trusted. Mostly is good enough for me.

If “voting your conscience” is so important .. I don’t see how the “nevertrump” people can use that as an excuse .. because .. they obviously did not let their conscience be their guide when they allowed Obama (over the almost 8 years) to succeed on just about anything he wanted.

And .. the things they allowed Obama to have - WERE THE THINGS WHICH HURT THE PEOPLE THE MOST.

That’s why we aren’t willing to play their games anymore.

Preserving one’s political and/or religious self-righteousness is far more important to some people than actually having to make hard or unpleasant decisions.

I’m quite alarmed. Another Northeastern democrat in Republican sheeps clothing isn’t voting for Trump. Yawn.

Michael Medved, who is 100% in the tank for our treasonous quisling incumbent RINOs, just made this gob-smackingly ludicrous declaration on his radio show:

"I do not know a single politician who is for illegal immigration."

Really!? Is this man serious? Or is he just an idiot? Where has he been for he last 20 years?

Medved, like so many other conservative commentators and bloggers who were once trusted, has exposed himself as nothing more than a useful idiot for the political elite establishment. Medved, like his NeverTrump GOPe bedmates, would rather see American burn under Hillary than see it prosper under a man he despises.

The heart of the NeverTrump crowd is the Globalist cabal who don't give a damn about this country and anyone who sides with such folks doesn't care about this country any more than Soros and the whole Globalist crowd do.

Anyone who doesn't resist putting Hillary and her crowd in power with their individual vote is behaving exactly like Pontius Pilot who allowed great evil by pretending he could simply wash his hands to be held harmless when Roman soldiers carried out the will of the mob who crucified Christ.
