I predict there will be a flood of staunch Republicans who find Trump to be so dangerous that they will cross for Hillary. Don't think for a minute that it's because they support anything she stands for. They don't. They believe that only by effectively delivering a humiliating loss to Trump will they be able to save the party.

There was some discussion about this on a show but I didn't pay enough attention to get a name. The guy, a reporter/author, surveyed a number of prominent repubs and got the same story time after time. His findings, whether they told him they'd vote for Hillary or not -and many did!- was that Turnip had to suffer a humiliating level of defeat.

We're already seeing some go public, either going so far as to recommend Clinton, or just to rebuke the repub party's choice of Trump.
