Anti-Trump Republicans confront a dilemma: Are they ready to help elect Clinton?
MSN News ^ | May 04, 2016 | Sean Sullivan, Katie Zezima

Posted on 05/04/2016 5:20:07 AM PDT by detective

Anti-Donald Trump Republicans are starting to consider whether their opposition to a Trump presidency is so strong that they would be prepared to fight him in the general election — even if that means helping put an avowed enemy, Hillary Clinton, in the Oval Office.

One strategy under discussion is to focus on helping down-ballot GOP candidates while sitting out the presidential race under the belief that Trump will lose to Clinton no matter what. A more drastic and difficult option: rallying support for a third-party candidate who could uphold traditional Republican positions but would almost certainly steal votes from Trump.

“That means, true conservatives, if they can stand it, must vote Hillary. Sad, but true.”

I am sorry to hear you voice that opinion. To do so equates being a conservative with being a criminal. I don’t see myself like that. It also equates being an internationalist, anti firearm, liar with being a conservative, hardly.

I think many of the so called anti-Trump Republicans do want to elect Hillary Clinton.

They do. Go to RedState or the NRO Corner or Ricochet, and you'll easily find posting after posting after posting by so-called "conservatives," swearing blood oaths to do precisely that.

They. Actively. Want. Her. To. Win. In. November.

They are no more "conservatives" than the members of Code Pink.

“When given a choice between the two, you have to select the most conservative in record. That means, true conservatives, if they can stand it, must vote Hillary. Sad, but true.”

There’s no excuse for anyone who believes this kind of crap. At least not anyone who can, you know, read or think on at least a first grade level.

I think many do not want to admit their key issue is illegal immigration. People who support open borders and illegal immigration are not conservative no matter how long they have been kidding themselves.

I'll be mighty p!$$ed off if we get Hillary because so many 5 year old Freepers throw a tantrum and stay home because their candidate couldn't cut it. I do not want to see a repeat of 2012.

There are more of Us than there are of Them. Get out and vote against Hillary for heaven's sake. She'll be the final death blow for this country.

Anyone voting for Hillary is no conservative. It is just not logical to say Trump is not conservative enough so I will vote for Hillary.

So, who will you vote for?

If you are a Texas gun lover, then a vote for Hillary is not a wise choice. She is evil and a grifter to the bone. Regardless of ideology, a sane person simply cannot vote for Hillary.

Yes, now they’re voting for Hillary. I think I see more clearly what has been wrong for a long time.

If this is representative of what the Cruz contingent genuinely truly, then they are genuinely deserving of their upcoming years in the political wilderness.

Of course they are. Read their statements. They are not timid in saying that they are.
