Thank you!

One down and about 8 more to go

Wrong. There are quite a lot more than 8 -- at least 37 (that is a low, informal count, but a certain tally) who've been courageous enough to say so in the face of guaranteed hostile reaction here, and that is not counting Republicans I know outside of FR who will simply decline to vote for Trump.

Now they will be even less inclined to state their real opinions and intent, which means that FR will be even less inclined to reflect the TRUE sentiments of conservatives who come here to speak freely -- they cannot speak freely.

It's just like there were quite a lot more than 8 in 2012 -- there were literally hundreds of people here who declared they'd not vote for Romney in the general. They weren't making a threat, they were communicating what they would do if Romney won the nomination: snub him in the general because they refused to vote for functional Democrat leftists regardless of party affiliation.

It is what it is.
