championing a kindred spirit, and the voting record and the tweets supporting that kindred spirit made that clear. Republicans are supporting HRC because they fear trump, and are willing to allow progressives to win, because they know the dangers he presents. They're not cheering on a candidate that supports their big money donors over the victims of violence for example.

So, the two things that puzzle you are not equivalent at all, they hate HRC and have done so for decades due her progressive agenda and the actions, it's why they supported their kindred spirit who joined them in defeating amendments their donor didn't like and who voted in ways their base approved of. They were always anti-HRC, they never did one thing to support her in the primary, quite the contrary, tells you a little something about their feelings about her, about Trump and their desperation at this stage when it's between her and Trump.
