I sure hope Cruz is right. The only person I wouldn’t vote for would be Trump, even though I held my nose and voted for Romney. But Trump is even worse and less conservative than Romney and should actually be running as a libertarian.
This would be the first election in my life in which I did not vote.
“This would be the first election in my life in which I did not vote.”
Well, at least you won’t be able to bitch about the outcome now will you.

That’s very sad to hear. Hitlery will be very grateful to you.
I'm in the same place, although Trump is not the only one I wouldn't vote for. There are others, but Trump's the only one "conservative" people are going ape over.
I've seen (and been on the receiving end of) some very ugly things, even very vile and profane things posted by FReepers who dislike whoever takes issue with Trump. This adoration parallels what we saw in 2008 when BO was the candidate. There's a messiah-type reverence for Trump that I could never have imagined "conservatives" engaging in. It's frightening.
I'm encouraged by the conservatives I know in real life. None of my conservative friends or family members are the least bit enamored with Trump. I'm not sure if they'll skip voting as you and I will, but, knowing their commitment to conservatism, I would be surprised if they felt desperate enough to vote for him. We've all been through the desperation of voting for someone whose not a true conservative enough times that I'd feel safe making a friendly wager that they wouldn't participate were Trump the nominee.
P.S. Remember how good Trump's judgment was in '08? He was all in for Romney, wasn't he? And now he's slamming Romney left and right. It wasn't that Trump's judgment was lacking. That could NEVER be the case! It was that Mitt let us down.
Now there's a cogent and creative post!
Demonstrably not true. Until Donald Trump single handedly opens the door to the country falling into depravity like Romney did with gay marriage, until he becomes the father and inventor of something as bad as his Romneycare and $50.00 abortions, the precursor to the scourge of the nation -- Obamacare, until he lies and etch a sketches amnesty and open borders and takes a long established organization like the Boy Scouts and bans them from the Olympics and declares gays to be needed at all levels of the Scouts including scout master like Romney did, until Trump can be proven a wanton prevaricator, lying about things when the truth would serve him better, until Trump sends out people to spread lies and destroy every conservative he sees as a threat, Mitt Romney will continue to be one of the biggest liberals the republican party has ever seen.
If he ran against Hillary as a democrat, she'd have to drop out of the race because his liberal credentials are so good. No one even considering running as a democrat can come close to matching lib Romney's marxist credentials.
I could go on and on. Romney is the son of an Alinsky loving liberal, and left the republican party because he hated conservative Ronald Reagan so much. Mitt Romney is a Fabian Socialist. Donald Trump is not.
