When #NeverTrump Becomes #ImWithHer

[sufrommich]

Donald Trump is now the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, as RNC chairman Reince Priebus tweeted tonight.

And the conservative activists who adamantly oppose him are now in the process of making peace with backing the Democrats’ eventual nominee. Because there’s one person they fear and loathe more than Hillary -- and they say they won’t blink.
Leon Wolf, the editor of the conservative site RedState.com, told The Daily Beast shortly after Cruz dropped out that he’s considering a Clinton vote.

“If it’s a competitive election, I probably will be compelled to vote for Hillary,” he said.
Hillary is ideologically not where I am,” he continued, adding that he thinks she did a poor job heading the State Department. “But I do feel pretty confident that she would actually be a better president than Trump. I wouldn’t go to bed every night worrying about a mushroom cloud opening up somewhere in the world because of some insane thing Trump had done.”


Ben Howe, a Red State contributing editor and prominent conservative activist, said he will work to stop Trump from winning the general election -- and that he realizes this means he’ll be helping Hillary.

This is going to be an interesting presidential election.
