Ok. So if Trump doesn't get the nomination a 1/3 won't vote and if he does get the nomination a 1/3 won't vote.
Doesn't really matter what happens then.
I mistakenly posted this on a TCG thread earlier.
I'll repost here where I sincerely hope it will stand.
You cannot be both pro-Trump and #NeverHillary. It makes absolutely zero sense.
Supporting a candidate who has consistently shown that he will lose to Hillary (and Sanders) in a General Election solely based on the hope that somehow the polls are wrong on this, or that they will change is also illogical. The one thing that Trump supporters have to agree with me on, is that polling has been very accurate this year... Trump had the leads that the polling data said that he had.
The few instances were the polling has been wrong didn't favor Trump (Iowa), and other than that, the changes in the recent polls measuring the General Election are not going Trump's way, with both Clinton and Sanders increasing their lead over Trump in every single poll.
I'M WITH TRUMP = WIN WITH HILLARY.
Republican convention delegates are faced with a situation where not selecting the man who clearly loses to either Democrat on the ticket will mean that perhaps millions of Trump supporters will stay home and not vote in the General Election, thus ensuring that either Democrat on the ticket wins.
Catch-22.
Hillary wins this election.
Sanders won't get the nomination. The DNC Super Delegates are there to make sure that doesn't happen.
The FBI will not indict her. Obama is there to make sure that doesn't happen.
It's been my contention, nearly from the day that Trump declared his candidacy, that he was simply a stalking horse for Hillary Clinton, and as I see it, he's done his job well.
Whatever else the Clintons may be, they are masters at political chess.
Hillary wins this election.
