Anyone who does so should not longer consider themselves a Republican in all honesty. I understand voting for someone like Gary Johnson or the constitution party, but never would i Understand a vote for Secretary Clinton

I think it's pretty easy to understand, to be honest.  Neither Gary Johnson nor whoever the constitution nuts put up will be elected, and Hillary is actually likely to stop what many of them believe would be a menace to the Republican Party and country, if elected.

Seriously?

Even if you put a gun to my head, I'd take the bullet to voting for Clinton. Any "Republican" that votes for a Democrat -- especially a Democrat like Crooked Hillary! --- is not a Republican.

That is one of the stupidest f-cking things I've ever heard. Not to mention, this is basically the attitude that prevents anything from ever getting done in Washington.

She will probably end up doing worse with Republicans than Hillary, any Republican disgusted by Trump will vote for Johnson over her in all likelihood or stay home.

I don't apologize for refusing to capitulate to a f-cking Hillary! supporter. I am a Republican. What the f-ck do you expect me to say? Yay! Hillary! No way.

Flip the question... Would you join Democrats/Faux-Independents for Trump? Hardly.

As a Republican either the nominee of the party gets my vote, or if I object, I vote for a Libertarian or sit the election out. I'd never vote for a Democrat. They don't fit my world view. Nor should you f-cking expect me to vote for a Democrat, especially one as crooked, vile and disgusting as Hillary!

A testament to the power of partisanship in modern day America.

Those whom would be willing to vote across the aisle are likely to do so because they don't view Trump as a Republican either; as far as they are concerned, there are no true Republicans to vote for this election cycle.

Considering Hillary might be my ideological opposite, I'm gonna go with a no. Also, what's with the Clinton 2016 crew trying to argue with people here on a republicans only thread?

Power of partisanship?

There's no way in hell I would ever vote for Hillary Clinton. Ever.

Bernie at least is an ideologue. I can understand his (misguided) socialist agenda. I don't agree with him, but he's an honorable guy. Obama is likewise an ideologue. I don't buy into it. But he's an honorable guy. Neither would EVER get my vote either, but I have respect for both.

Hillary! and her impeached, disbarred alleged rapist husband define sleaze.

I make no apologies to anyone for refusing to vote for a candidate that is stupid enough to host her own home-brew server as Secretary of State. I make no apologies for refusing to vote for a candidate that lied to the country and the families of the victims in Benghazi.

I make no apologies for refusing to vote for a candidate that stole the White House china on her previous exit from the White House. I make no apologies for refusing to vote for a candidate that was asked to leave the Nixon impeachment investigation.

I make no apologies for refusing to vote for a candidate that actively engaged on a war against women by skewering her husband's sexual assault accusers, but claims that the other guy (who promoted women to places they've never been before in the construction world) is the one who doesn't respect women.

I make no apologies for refusing to vote for a candidate that was "dead broke" but managed to buy a few mansions to live in after leaving the White House. I refuse to vote for candidate that engaged in questionable practices giving speeches to enhance her bottom line.

I mean, Seriously? Should I go on?

The fact that you think Republicans should be malleable on basically the anti-Republican anti-christ that changes positions on things like gay marriage and the Iraq War based on which way the wind is blowing when we have another viable choice is just insane.

The sanctimony from Clinton supporters in this thread is weird. There's a Supreme Court seat up for grabs, and possibly another one along the way; why is it outrageous that a Republican wouldn't vote for a Democrat in a scenario like this? I certainly would never vote for a GOP candidate if the situation was flipped and the Democrat was toxic.

That being said, refusing to vote for Clinton but not extending the same treatment toward Sanders is incoherent and delusional.

And Donald Trump isn't the definition of sleaze? And doesn't flip flop on every issue under the sun based on which way the breeze is blowing?

You misunderstand me, I'm not expecting nor demanding you or any other Republican to vote for Hillary. I was making an observation how you defined somebody willing to do so as "not being a Republican." Just because he has an R next to his name, you can respect your fellow Republican for voting him, even though an argument could easily be made that Trump is just as, if not more sleazy and unviable than Clinton. I was more contending your claim that voting for Hillary made somebody automatically revoke their Republican status, that's a highly partisan viewpoint.

Partisanship has more to do with how people vote nowadays than the individual personality of the candidates. For the few who break that mold, your response is demonstrative of their treatment within their own party.

Not with Johnson in the race. If the Libertarians had nominated some joke like McAfee, I would probably have switched my support to Hillary.

I don't think anyone who does deserves to be ostracized from the party in any way.

Voted 'no', though.

I absolutely have a problem with a "Republican" voting for Hillary Clinton. I didn't like Mitt Romney. He's basically Obama-lite to me. I could not stomach voting for the grandfather of Obamacare. So instead of voting for Obama, I sat out the election in 2012.

I would expect my fellow Republicans that do not like Trump for whatever reason to either vote third party or not vote at all. There is too much at stake for any good Republican to give Hillary! another vote. She really is that bad to the vast majority of blue avatars.

Well, I guess we just learned that it's against the laws ordained by seriously for any Republican to vote for a Democrat under any circumstances, even if the Republican running is Donald F***ing Trump.

Oh I know she's bad for them, and if polls are to be believed, about the same number of Republicans are contemplating voting for the Democratic candidate this time around as they did last time (7%). Trump seems to have done a surprisingly good job of unifying the party, but again, that's the power of partisanship.

I can relate to having a problem with it, I would have a problem with Democrats voting for Trump, but I wouldn't say they "weren't Democrats" for doing so. Foolish morons maybe, but I wouldn't attack their political identity over it.

That was my main contention, you're free to feel however you want about it. Maybe some of the Republicans voting yes can give your their perspective (assuming it's not mostly just Democrats skewing the poll).

I'm a Republican who plans on voting for Hillary Clinton. I would've voted for Jeb Bush/Marco Rubio/John Kasich over Hillary if one of them had won the nomination, but not Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a dangerous man who must be defeated.

Most Republicans would rather vote for a deranged narcissistic thin-skinned clown than a highly competent and shrewd political leader and diplomat. Sad!

You guys already have the Congress and the Supreme Court. Surely that's sufficient to block Clinton's agenda the way you've blocked Obama's?
