Ideology for many of the conservative mindset is more important that principles. The Democratic leaning voters are the ones that can be fickle enough to stay home but the Republicans would still vote
The problem with all these “prominent” Republicans is I think they’re all liars. I think every last one will still vote for him come election day.
If he wins that will end the careers of those coming out against him. There is no reason for them to do so if they are going to vote for him.
I don’t hear any of that outside the prominent ones. The smaller local ones are dead set on voting for Trump in my neck of the woods. But we have the nutters like Matt Shea constantly siring the pot and North Idaho seems like a powder keg waiting to go off. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone doesn’t try another Ruby Ridge type standoff in the next 5 years.
Okay? You were claiming all Republicans will still vote for him. That’s demonstrably not true. If big name Republicans aren’t going to vote for him, why are you assuming all other Republicans will?
