(12,864 posts)We have the same opinion of Hillary Clinton, though perhaps some disagreement as to the reasons the Bush family won't support Trump. Yes, their interests align with Hillary, but I think they would support almost any Republican candidate other than Trump and the reason is that Trump is a loose cannon who poses a real danger.
I will be loathe to vote for Hillary if she is the Democratic nominee, but will likely do so if my home state of Illinois has any chance of falling to Trump.
In October 2002 I vowed to never support in a Democratic primary any candidate who voted for the IWR, and I have not. I did, however, travel to Akron Ohio to GOTV for Kerry in 2004 because GW Bush was an unmitigated disaster for our country.
Trump potentially could be worse.
