The Guardian: “Who can stop Trump? Republicans may have little choice but to vote Clinton”.

[kpete]

The party could change convention rules or bring in an independent candidate, but the more realistic (yet unwelcome) option may be to support a Democrat

“It is really damn simple,” responded Erickson in an open letter to Gingrich on Thursday night. “There’s no reason for you or anyone else to complicate it. Donald Trump’s nomination will give you Hillary Clinton’s presidency.”

Even then, an independent conservative would probably just split the rightwing vote – saving neither the party from Trump, nor the country from Clinton, if they were the twin intentions.

Instead the many mainstream Republicans who are appalled at Trump’s antics are now realising they could have little alternative but to vote for Hillary Clinton or not vote at all.

Half of Republican voters tell pollsters they do not know yet whether they could bring themselves to back Trump if he wins their party nomination.

1. And a lot of Democratic voters don't know if they can bring themselves to vote for Hillary.

What a fucked-up travesty of an election.
Someone must be very proud.

3. those aren't Democrats who can't vote for Clinton. They're Paulites, Greens

or such low-information voters they're probably better off staying at home.

4. I think we are seeing the begining of a party realignment if Hillary is the nominee.

The Democratic Party Establishment is pushing away the Left while courting the corporate Right. I'm refrain from describing the possible other side of that realignment lest I get falsely accused of defending Trump.
