How many Republicans will vote for Hillary while holding their nose solely for the sake of stability and a foreseeable political future?

I suppose there would be plenty of Republicans voting for Hillary in this case.

Trump would never be able to win a Presidential election against Hillary.

Republicans voting for Hillary aren't conservative after all. They're part of the RINO and big establishment types, they should of been part of the Democratic party.

Not voting for a white nationalist doesn't make me a rino

I'll gladly volunteer the fact that I'll definitely be voting for Hillary if Trump is the nominee. I won't like it one bit, but the stakes are too high to stay home. TRUMP must be kept out!

That's Ok, Trump doesn't need the Pataki voting block anyway to accomplish his goals. He registers at zero in the polls.

I'm as likely to vote for Pataki as I am for Trump. But in Pataki's case it is about probability.

I don't think that there will be as many as people think.  There maybe a goodly number of folks who abstain from picking a Presidential candidate, however.

One possibility, if the Establishment allows it, is for states to name Republican electors that are unpledged, or pledged to Favorite Sons.  This would have the effect of potentially turning the Electoral College into a convention which chooses a President, which is actually what the Founders had in mind.  In some ways, the wisdom of our Founders reveals itself daily.

In a November PPP poll, Clinton was leading trump 45% to 44%.
8% of Romney voters said they would switch to Clinton.
10% of Obama voters said they would switch to Trump.

The "Rubio block" consists of Atlas posters and the editorial staff of The Weekly Standard.

I have one thing to say about Rubio voters.

When push comes to shove, I doubt many GOP voters would actually vote for Hillary. Abstain, sure, but the Republican political machine has been hell-bent on destroying her for too long for there to be a change of heart now.
