If he becomes the nomination, I could not in good conscience vote for him as he holds the opposite of many of my core beliefs.

Then you shall help (or at least lose the opportunity of preventing) the (D) nominee, presumably Hillary Clinton, become President. That's just a fact, and I'm just pointing it out; there's no sense in being in denial about this fact. If you're going to insist upon this "conscience vote", at least be honest with yourself about the effects, that's all I ask.

So, by not voting for someone who holds views totally opposite of what I believe, I am in fact voting for someone who holds views totally opposite of what I believe. I should just check my morals at the voting booth door and blindly follow the party.

Since you didn't get my earlier point, I will ask again. If Rudy suddenly decided to be anti war, and got the nomination, would you vote for him? Especially since not voting for Rudy would be a vote for Hillary (according your logic).
