Anti-Trump Republicans confront a dilemma: Are they ready to help elect Clinton?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

INDIANAPOLIS — Anti-Donald Trump Republicans are starting to consider whether their opposition to a Trump presidency is so strong that they would be prepared to fight him in the general election — even if that means helping put an avowed enemy, Hillary Clinton, in the Oval Office.

One strategy under discussion is to focus on helping down-ballot GOP candidates while sitting out the presidential race under the belief that Trump will lose to Clinton no matter what. A more drastic and difficult option: rallying support for a third-party candidate who could uphold traditional Republican positions but would almost certainly steal votes from Trump.

“You have to bet on sanity,” said GOP strategist Stuart Stevens, who helped lead the campaign of 2012 nominee Mitt Romney. “If this is one of those moments in history where for various reasons the party has to play out nominating someone who is completely unelectable .?.?. so be it.”

The dilemma came into focus Tuesday night, when Trump scored a decisive victory in Indiana over Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas — prompting Cruz to say he was dropping out of the race — despite an all-out effort by the anti-Trump forces to turn the state into a firewall to halt the billionaire’s march toward the nomination.

1. It was stupid to encourage him to run all these years! Including Ophrah Winfrey

It was stupid to have 18 candidates at the beginning!

It was stupid to give Trump so much free media!

It was stupid to think that he was funny and fun!

Just a royal mess!

Thanks for posting!

2. That's gonna be strange huh

Providing money and support for their crazed tea bagger congresscritters and at the same time ignoring the number one tea bagger a-hole.

Go Hillary, go Dem's congresscritters!

3. "Democrats Fall In Love Republicans Fall In Line"

I suspect many will fall in line.
A few may cross the aisle, but I expect a difficult campaign.

GOTV

4. After all the crap she's had to put up with for so many years,

I've got to think that a victory including votes from a lot of the people who gave her that crap would be especially sweet.

All I know is, I'm getting a big kick out of it.

I feel that HRC is capable of unleashing hell on Dump if she chooses.
