Primarily because Donald Trump is a very divisive figure

Another self righteous fraud. Zero Hedge is dead to me.

Rule of law is dead

What is the law?

Not to take foreign money

What is the law?

Not to sell political favors, especially from countries that stone gays and forbid women to drive

What is the law?

Not to destroy evidence

While Tyler and others like him are searching for that candidate they can support, Hillary and the Left will be consolidating power like never before so that our votes will no longer matter anyway.

Congrats to the cadre of “useful idiots” on our side who have paved the way for us to fly past the point of no return for the country.

That was both good and disheartening.

Warning! Don’t watch Fox tonight. They are already planning their dance tickets to the Clinton inaugural ball.

“Personally, I’ve passed the point where I’m willing to vote for someone I don’t believe in or trust”

Well, Krieger, looks like you’ll never be voting for anyone ever again. There will never be another Trump, and everyone currently in the Uniparty has demonstrated they are not to be trusted, and that will continue to be the case indefinitely.

You’ve blown your one and only chance to ever get anything actually changed because you just HAD to have the PERFECT candidate, with the PERFECT personality, whose positions on the issues have to match YOUR positions 100%, which apparently is MUCH more important to you than judging what’s MOST important and ignoring the noise.

As such, we really need to start thinking and strategizing about the future.

Which GOP candidate does he think will embrace his five points? None of the schmucks that ran against Trump will sign on, and you certainly aren't going to find a Democrat that will do so (Sanders was just mouthing words - he had no intention of being the candidate). Trump was the best choice, and at this point, he is the only choice. Mr. Durden needs to get over his bad self and vote for Trump.

Like the blind men telling what an elephant looked like everyone is coming out of the woodwork telling us who to vote for and why. Like bad scientists their “facts” are just theories and just plane stories.

Yeah, you sit it out, Ritalin addled Millennial.

I hear some talk about a healing, a coming together again within the party. I don’t think they are fools, I know they are degenerate liars already plotting.

Trump can do so much. He can ease the transition from old age to death for the boomers both culturally and economically. After that civilization crosses the event horizon. It’s set.

What a freeking idiot. If you want to see the future just look at California. Trump was my 4th ranked candidate in the primaries but I can see he is our last hope. I’m sick of these Republicans who don’t want to vote for Trump because they are such pantywastes. They will never get my support.

Primarily because Donald Trump is a very divisive figure who focused too much on polarizing issues such as building a wall, stop-and-frisk, supporting torture, advocating for internet censorship and libel laws, etc

Perhaps the editorial writer wants open borders and coddling criminals and enemies but he is quite uninformed about censorship. The media censors the news of the crimes of Hillary. The social media conglomerates soft-censor their users and Obama just turned over the internet to those conglomerates and foreign authoritarians.

I was going to call him an idiot, but realized that your term, “fraud,” is the right one. Trump, who promises to do everything this guy has supposedly been dreaming of for years, isn’t going to get his vote because he’s rough around the edges? This is a thinly veiled Hillary endorsement.

I don't really agree with this one:

Despite all of the above, the ultimate status quo candidate, Hillary Clinton, has a very good chance of winning tomorrow’s election. Why? Primarily because Donald Trump is a very divisive figure who focused too much on polarizing issues such as building a wall, stop-and-frisk, supporting torture, advocating for internet censorship and libel laws, etc.

Bernie Sanders was the exact opposite of Trump -- but he lost too.

If Trump loses, it will be because he was up against a stacked deck with every organized political group, special interest group, and media group lined up against him. It's really that simple. There isn't a single Republican in national politics today who would have engaged in the brash, bare-knuckle brawling type of campaign that Trump did.

Personally, I think this is why Trump has a very good chance to win tomorrow. Among all the adjectives you could use to describe a political candidate, Trump is a historic personification of the one that still counts the most even in 2016: AMERICAN.

If we can stay focused on those existential issues after the election irrespective of who wins, “we the people” have a good chance of uniting a clear majority of the population and ultimately turning this national disaster around.

This guy is whistling past the graveyard, dude.

If Trump loses this election, we won't have another opportunity like this for a generation -- if at all. I'm predicting that if he loses, the 94+ million people who have dropped out of our nation's work force are going to drop out of our nation's fabric completely. They'll still live here, but they will simply stop giving a sh!t about every government institution in America, and will stop feeling any obligation to conduct themselves according to any legal or moral code. In effect, they will be content to live in a state of existence one step above total anarchy.

Is there anybody here on FreeRepublic who really thinks that any more than 20% of Trump's supporters are ever going to vote for someone like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, or Scott Walker in a presidential election in the future?

Hey, Tyler - the dream candidate you’re looking for doesn’t exist.

If you think Trump is going to lose, then stop writing.

President Clinton is not going to tolerate opposition.

You don’t like Trump because you’re Millenial Snowflake. We get it.

Your gloom and doom attitude won’t deter the rest of us from our task of saving America.
