Some GOP'ers so dislike Trump they'd rather see Clinton win

[RandySF]

Some Iowa Republican caucusgoers say they're so disturbed by Donald Trump that they would never vote for him, even if it meant Democrat Hillary Clinton would win the general election.

Seven voters out of 27 in a focus group conducted in Des Moines Friday night by opinion researcher Frank Luntz said Trump so strongly repels them that they’d never cast a ballot for him.

Luntz was taken aback.

When quizzed on why they feel so strongly, the Iowans said although they dislike Clinton, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, they dislike Trump more. One man said the New York businessman can’t be trusted because he doesn’t have any consistent principles; his political leanings have shifted so many times over the years that it’s impossible to say how he’d behave in office. “So Hillary’s not that big a deal,” the man said.

Other criticisms: Trump is "an isolationist"; he said to let Russia’s Vladimir Putin take care of Islamic State terrorists; he’s such close friends with Hillary and Bill Clinton that he invited them to his wedding and plays golf with them; he wouldn’t “put a good face on the Republican party”; and he loves the attention of being on the campaign trail, but doesn’t actually want to be president.

1. I don't believe for two seconds that Lunz was taken aback.

He was on Nightly months ago and it was clear he thought Trump was not doing the Republican Party any favors for the general.

I would not trust Lunz as far as I could throw him. He comes up with terms like "climate change" because, in that case, it sounded better to people than "global warming." He's a Republican tool, in every possible negative sense of both those words.
