Why is Romney in the title? I don't think he's said that he won't back Trump in the general, has he?

He has. He'd vote third party or write someone in.

My reasons being against Trump in order of most to lease importance to me:

1.) his ban on Muslims
2.) his god awful persona
3.) he has no substantive policy plans
4.) he can't be trusted.

1) He will work to fundamentally undermine the values of liberal, constitutional democracy in a way we have never before seen in this country.

I will never, under any circumstances vote for him.

I have a little more respect for Romney now.  I have no respect for the Republicans who will back Trump if he wins the nomination.  If Trump's THAT BAD a HUMAN BEING; if it's not just issue differences, then why would you support him at all if his character is that low?  Think about that.  The GOP (for the most part, is saying, "He's a scumbag, but if he's nominated, he's OUR scumbag."  If Trump's THAT bad, it's time for these folks to fish or cut bait.

Honestly though, I would respect him more if he voted for Clinton. Voting third party accomplishes nothing.

He now lives in highly non-competitive Utah, so voting for anyone accomplishes nothing.

Uh, I'll have you know that Utah is more likely to vote Democratic than Colorado.

Question is: will GOP stalwarts actually campaign against their own nominee?

More likely they will sit it out like Romney Sr. and Nelson Rockefeller did in 1964.

I'm guessing a few of them will, but most won't.

Kinzinger on CNN: I can’t see how I’d support him. I put my country above my party, any day of the week.

Graham is still undecided on whether to go #NeverTrump, but he did suggest that his pledge to support the nominee doesn't apply anymore because he's no longer running for president.  (Then I guess he really didn't understand what the pledge was?):

You know, I bet he retires in 2020 or maybe even earlier. Why would he want to run for another term? It really seems to me like he's over it.

The whole "pledge" thing is about as useful as a non-proliferation treaty signed by North Korea.

I think he should be the one to run 3rd party this year as the #NeverTrump candidate, if no one else wants to do it.  Trump's most significant break from GOP establishment orthodoxy is on foreign policy, and who better to run on the orthodox GOP foreign policy line than Graham?  (Well, McCain, but he's busy with his own reelection.)  What does he have to lose?

I was sore for months about Trump, but I'm over it, and the establishment needs to get over it too.
I'm not sore about Trump. Conservatives aren't sore about Trump. We are furious and angry that a man who doesn't represent our values or our party or our ideology dares to claim it, dares to lie about it, and dares to defame all who disagree. I am not over it. I am not establishment. I am a conservative Constitutionalist who is concerned for the future of America and wants true freedom and a true defender of the Constitution. I won't give up until Trump passes 1237 and if he doesn't, then I will carry and defend my values to the convention and pray for a Cruz nomination.

I have trouble believing the polls that put Sanders and Clinton ahead of Trump, but you may be right.

Given the latest Utah poll, perhaps I spoke too soon?  Tongue
