18. Most the Republicans I know can't tolerate him and are aghast that he won the nomination.

I've been working on several of them to give up on the GOP and come on over to join the rest of us on the right side of history. The only ones I'm not bothering with are the bigots. Of the dozen or so Republicans I know, only two are voting Trump, and more because they have an irrational hatred of Hillary than because they like Trump. I really think Trump may well be the end of the Republican Party, at least as we know it.

If a new right-leaning party emerges, I would hope it would be guided by conservatives who are willing to at least try to find some common ground so that we wouldn't have the gridlock we've endured with the GOP holding both houses of Congress. I can respect those who have honest differences of opinion and view the world differently than I do. I can't respect bigotry and obstruction for the sake of it.
