Let me be clear if others have not. And I think I speak for MOST Trump supporters.
We need every vote, and its going to be Herculean task trying to win this election. Any GOP nominee has to face a headwind of hostile media, the bully pulpit of the presidency, and turbulence within our own squabbling party...and yes, had Cruz one the squabbling would be no less intense and divisive. The vote of every conservative and every Republican...and a healthy number of Independents and Dems...is the only way to win this thing. There is no doubt that the Nevertrump movement can go a long way to giving Hillary a win...because in our current state, 3-5% is the difference between a narrow win and a blowout either way. So, as many of us have been saying, be careful what you wish for...because you may just get it. This is not an election we can afford to hand to the Dems and Mrs. Clinton and despite the hysterical claims of some to the contrary...she is vastly further to the left than is Mr. Trump.
We don't need a "gentleman" in the White House...we need a Churchillian scrapper...a rude, crude, brash, determined, realpolitik, tell it like it is leader. That's what you need in the midst of a world war, and make no mistake, that is the fight we are in. And make no mistake about this, the ONLY alternative to Mr. Trump is Mrs. Clinton. One of these two will be our next president, and hoping for any other outcome...or worse, working for one...is a self defeating exercise in wishful futility.
