Don't be fooled, the GOP always vote and will only vote for the GOP.

The GOP is a top down party and they love it. They are a cult of followers. They may be embarrassed and shocked by hearing what is only whispered in private.

We deserve the government we get.

They are incapable of crossing that line. "Daddy always told us to vote Republican, so we always vote for Republicans."

Republicans will never, ever, cross that line. Even the ones in Congress who claim they're going to vote Hillary instead of Trump. Once they're filling in that little black circle on the ballot, they'll fill in "Trump."

I think we can assume your crazy uncle would vote for any GOP nominee. Most Dems are going to vote for Hillary. I don't think this is the questions. The question of to independents voting Hillary or Trump is right now not much up in the air. The polls say that Donald has a long way to go to pick up women, blacks, and Hispanic independents. I mean he's really repulsive as a human being. I know many independents that won't go near him. Win goes full core Hillary bashing many people that hate Hillary are going to slowly support her. The enemy of my enemy starts to look better and better...

Hillary wins if the Democratic get out the vote.

I personally know Republicans that have supported the Democratic Party by voting for Democratic candidates.

There are Republicans out there that aren't batshit crazy, just like there are Bernie and Clinton supporters that aren't batshit crazy.
