I'd jump ship to Hillary in a heartbeat. Trump would never be an option for me.

Christine "Christie" Todd Whitman (born September 26, 1946) is an American Republican politician and author who served as the 50th Governor of New Jersey from 1994 to 2001, and was the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in the administration of President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2003. She was New Jersey's first, and to date, only female governor.[1] She was the second woman and first Republican woman to defeat an incumbent governor in a general election in the United States. She was also the first Republican woman to be reelected governor.[2]

Trump would destroy their party, and probably everything else too.

If Bernie attracts Republican voters, it's a bad thing. But if Hillary does it everything is okey dokey.

I always thought the point of campaigning was to bring people to your side.

and eventually that will wear down as he's put in more practical Q&A sessions. The last GOP debates were positively looney, so his ineptitude was masked yet again. That won't last forever. You are right this sentiment is prevalent about rejecting him. I've seen it online and heard Morning Joe talking about this weeks ago.

There's a military man saying now that they won't follow his orders if it comes to that (forget the man's name, but saw it on some news feeds).

Such as Trump's call to kill terrorists families. Straight up military coup.

It sounds more like sour grapes about how the process is turning out rather than a concerted effort to stop "the Donald." Or a backdoor way of saying, "If we pick Trump, Clinton will win!"

I don't believe it for a second.
