They were defeated in the primaries, failed to stop Donald Trump at the convention, and now the “never Trump” forces within the GOP are having to come to grips with what they’ll actually do when they enter the polling booth in November.
Few say they’ll pull the lever for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, but neither Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson nor Evan McMullin, an independent conservative offering himself as the unofficial GOP choice, are earning groundswell support.
Some of the anti-Trump forces say they’re so frustrated, they’ll stay home on Election Day — unless it looks like doing so would help Mr. Trump, in which case they’ll turn out to give Mrs. Clinton a boost over him.
“I will maintain my high moral principles about not voting for [her], unless it looks like Trump might carry Florida, in which case I’ll throw my principles over the side and try to prevent that,” said Mac Stipanovich, a Republican lawyer based in Florida.
“You could drill a hole in my face with a wood bit and I wouldn’t vote for Donald Trump,” said Mr. Stipanovich, who penned an open letter in May calling on Republicans to stay home or vote for Mrs. Clinton “if conscience permits.”
On Capitol Hill, anti-Trump lawmaker Rep. Richard L. Hanna of New York, who is retiring after his current term expires, has publicly declared his support for Mrs. Clinton, saying in an op-ed that Mr. Trump is “unfit to serve our party and cannot lead this country.”

Traitors all.
They have no problem supporting a corrupt, serial liar and criminal though.
“....Mac Stipanovich, a Republican lawyer based in Florida.”
WHO ?? Seriously, who is he, who’s ever heard of him, and why do we care what he says/thinks/does?
May they all get hit by the next crosstown bus !
Bump! He ain’t no Republican.
None of those losers should ever be re-elected.
There really aren’t that many NeverTrumpers, they are just prominent in the GOP because the Cheap Labor Express has placed them there.
They can all go to hell...vote for hillary or stay home, who cares! FU nevertrumpers. He will still win in a landslide!

I just read that Levin is now voting Trump
The “republican” non-voters are 100% responsible for the Obama presidency
Yep, it’s late but welcome and I applaud him.
Stay home ass holes. We know who you are and we will kick your political ass!!
Any vote that isn’t for Trump is a vote for Hillary. Even not voting isn’t enough, we’ll need everyone to unite to stop this criminal.
C’mon RINOs, just go in and secretly pull the lever to save America from the bag lady. Vote Trump then tell everyone you voted for any one else.
You’ll sleep better at night, I promise.
I always had respect for Levin. Glad to see he is able to make a difficult decision.
Amen, and I believe many are going to do it.
Having said that, there is no way whatsoever, that I would NOT VOTE...ever....My opinion is critical to me and I'll be damned if I ever let someones personal behavior keep me from stating my EXTREMELY important opinions
They are either retarded, brain dead or have misplaced their faith in something evil.
