Mike - You and more than a bunch of my friends feel that there is little difference between Clinton and Trump. But as I said, a lot of leading right leading media members and politicians - people who would have to be drastically pushed to vote Democrat are being pushed that way.
You may think that there's no difference, but you are in a small minority. So either a lot of us are very wrong, or you and many like you are way off base.
For me personally, I think it is highly irrational for any true Republican to think Trump is the answer. Is ever the answer.
