Here's the problem with that approach;
1. If you don't vote for the "R" down ballot, you're helping the "D" get elected -- even if you vote for a third party "I".
2. If Trump is going to get anything lasting accomplished, he must have the cooperation of Congress.
3. There is no chance that a Democrat Congress will cooperate with Trump. A Republican Congress is far more likely to do Trump's bidding...if grudgingly.
4. Accordingly, if we want Trump to succeed, we're obliged to vote for the "R" -- as distasteful as that might be.
I don’t buy that argument any longer. Our current “R”’s are totally supporting Obama and his agenda. They will not support Trump and they will pressure all new republicans to fall in line.
If they aren’t vocal in their support of him now that will not change in the future.

Sorry, there is ZERO evidence a Republican Congress will do Trump’s bidding. It will simply be more FU’s like Ryan gave to Trump today.
Wake up!! Everyone but Trump is Uniparty!! Throw the disloyal bastards out.
I agree with the basic premise of your post. Yes, it really would be better for Trump, when elected, to have a Congress filled with RINOs rather than Democrats.
HOWEVER, that said, as exasperating as RINOs are, their FIRST DUTY IS TO HELP GET TRUMP ELECTED!!! Then, if they choose to be a thorn in our side, so be it.
This is why I now absolutely refuse to vote for any current "Republican" who actively fails to help Trump win this election. These filthy, vile moral cowards are failing their FIRST DUTY.
McCain and his ilk will now NEVER receive my vote.
