Then you're ignoring a lot. Even one of the Koch brothers acknowledges that Hillary may be the best choice available.
The only thing that I am ignoring are the polls now that show Hillary beating Trump.
There are literally dozens of them. With RCP's running average showing a roughly 9 point lead for Hillary. So that's a huge amount to ignore. But that's certainly not the 'only' thing you're ignoring.
You're ignoring the polls showing Trump's net favorability with independents being -27 points. More than double any other candidate of either party. And more than 3 times Hillary's. There is no candidate that polls worse with independents than Trump.
You ignore the polls that show that 1 in 4 republicans would vote for Hillary over Trump.
You ignore 54% of those polled indicating they will *never* vote for Trump.
You ignore the 65% unfavorability rating Trump is pulling in the most current favorability polls. That's the worst of any leading candidate in polling history.
You ignore how poorly Trump polls with women in the general election.
You ignore how poorly Trump polls with hispanics in the general election.
You ignore that the GOP establishment is actively fighting their own leading candidate. An indication of how tepid their support will be after the convention.
You ignore the 36% point lead that Hillary has over Trump among millennials. Not just 'millennials'. But 'likely voter' millennials.
The statistical data you have to ignore is absolutely overwhelming. And in its place you've imagined wishes and feverish hopes. That's not a good indication for your candidate.
I think that any Republican now that says that they will "never vote for Trump" will have a change of heart when faced with the possibility of Crooked Hillary.
And 1 in 4 republicans who are polled say they won't. Now who am I to believe? Your wishes? Or their assessment of their *own* voting?
If asked in a poll a few weeks ago I would say that I would never vote for Trump, however come the harsh reality of November and facing Hillary then it becomes a no brainer.
If you are banking on that then may have a very disappointing November 8th.
I think you're ignoring *way* more than polls indicating that Hillary beats Trump. And that you'll have to ignore a lot more as the election gets closer.
We are both talking in the abstract and have no idea how this will play out. For all we know Crooked Hillary will be indicted and the possibility of a national nightmare will suddenly disappear.
You are saying that the hate of Trump will be greater than the hate of Crooked Hillary.
I am saying the the hate for Crooked Hilliary will be greater than the hate of Trump.
We will see how it plays out in the next few months.
A lot of people have underestimated Trump and regretted it. Crooked Hillary has a lot of baggage to answer for and Trump will not be hesitant to attack her.
Just because Romney was too cowardly to confront Obama on his terrible record and dishonesty to the American people doesn't mean Trump will be the same with Hillary.
