    Conservatives - what exactly would Trump have to do before you would consider NOT voting for him?

    Given the latest totally unsurprising revelation about Donald Trump's character and personality, is there ANY level to which he could stoop which would persuade HubPage's conservative Republicans to change their mind and start believing he is a worse option than Hillary? Just what exactly would he have to do on top of his wide sweeping bigotry, his crude vulgarity, his deceit, his attitudes to fiscal responsibility, his lack of political knowhow and lack of any policy detail, his alienation of senior Republicans, the fear he induces in America's allies, etc? What would be your breaking point?

    I don't think it's possible to shake the faith of the trumpsters; they are completely deaf to rational arguments. Their hatred of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is so deeply embedded it cannot be shifted.

    I'm reminded of the comment of former Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards, who, like most politicians from his state, is described as "colourful." During one campaign, which he won, he said: "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy".[

      Nice quote smile Your comment is pretty much the way I was thinking when I posed the question Rupert. In a similar vein, Trump himself said earlier this year:

      'I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot people and I wouldn't lose voters'

    To start with nothing you have accused Trump of compares to (and I quote from my black friend, Verily Prime) "Secretary of State Clinton, probably the most corrupt politician since Boss Tweed and she and Democrats have the nerves to point accusatory moral fingers at Donald Trump… accusing the latter as being immoral - what alternate universe are we living in?" http://hubpages.com/politics/Hypocrats- … t-16914650

    Amazing how a few lewd remarks, not deeds, by Trump over 10 years ago, like that somehow, is worse or even compares to anything HRC has said or done? Hillary was less the bereft victim of her husband’s transgressions than his enabler, a “women’s advocate” with no compunction about slandering the “bimbos” who were obstacles in her way, not lewd talk actual actions taken to threaten, blackmail and defame her husbands female victims. And what did the leading democrats say about Clinton's 9 Lewinskies n the oval office. None of our business, that's his "private" life! (private or did they mean his private's life).

    But to answer your question, "what exactly would Trump have to do before you would consider NOT voting for him?"

    Trump would first have to have served as a career politician for over 30 years having been a big part of what has brought America to be on the path of destruction it is on and if he wanted to keep us on that path believed to be on the wrong path by the vast majority of people according to polls.

    Then if Trump was an advocate of partial birth abortion I wouldn't vote for him.

    If he was looking to put Justices on the supreme court who would legislate from the bench, I wouldn't vote for him.

    If his wife was accused of rape and/or sexual assault by dozens of women and he helped her cover it up I wouldn't vote for him.

    If he was responsible for the safety and consequent death of 4 patriots in Benghazi and then lied about it, even to their families, I wouldn't vote for him.

    if he deleted 33,000 government emails kept on an unauthorized private unsecured server and his aids took the 5th instead of answering questions about it, I wouldn't vote for him.

    If he as a government official engineered and carried out a pay to play scheme for foreign countries to gain influence over America while in his post and after were he to be elected president, I wouldn't vote for him.

    If he was even suspected of being guilty of all these things, not just one but all these scandals taken together, I wouldn't vote for him. On top of all that if these things were things that Trump did, I'd vote for anyone else but him, even if that other person said things that could be somehow interpreted or were lewd or insulting.

    Your question is like asking why would you vote for someone who may have said a few things when the alternative is someone who actually did horrendous things, including criminal acts no less than compromising our national security.

    I think you need to rethink what the real issues of this election actually are, or maybe you aren't capable of rational thought at all.

    It doesn't matter to Trump supporters if he had intercourse on T.V. for the world to see.  They would still think he is better than Hillary, because they have been brainwashed for years by right wing propaganda and now Trump confirms their beliefs.

    It doesn't matter to them that Hillary has been exonerated of all charges of Benghazi and email by the FBI, the DOJ and every congressional investigation she has been in.  They think they are all corrupt.   They can't handle facts.  It doesn't matter if America is already great.  It doesn't matter that there is 5% unemployment, that our national defense is the greatest in the world, that our economy is strong and 15 million new jobs have been created since Obama took office.  It doesn't matter that our stock market is at an all time high.  It doesn't matter that we are the world's hot bed of innovation and technology and institution of learning. None of that matters to Trump supporters, because they think Hillary has jeopardized our national security and killed four Americans and that her husband had an affair.  She should be locked up and then put in front of a firing squad.

    I ask Trump supporters this:  If Hillary jeopardized our national security, where is the cataclysmic evidence of that taking place?  If she did kill four people in Benghazi, (which she didn't)  how does that compare to the thousands of people killed in Bushes war?

    Trump wants to make America Great again. Stop your whining, it is already great with 95% of the people working.  If you are in the 5%, then go get a job. If your skill set does not match what is available then go get retrained for jobs that are in demand. 

    America is already great and does not need a lying con man pervert who knows nothing about how to govern a country.  What he does know is how to bullsh*t its people into thinking  Hillary is evil and that he is going to Make America Great Again. 

    By the way he copied Reagan's slogan of Let's Make America Great Again.  To all the Trump supporters out there, grow a pair and see this man for who he really is a divider and conqueror, not a person who unites.  He divides and conquers by insults, slander, name calling and lying about his lies.  He plays to your fantasies, not your reality.   He has successfully divided the Republican party with his delusional grandeur and self aggrandizement.    He is not a leader, but a destroyer for his own selfish gain and twisted ego. And you Trump supporters follow him like sheep and think that nothing  could be worse than Hillary.  Be careful of who you vote for, you might get him.

    He is the Republican nominee and far better for the conservative cause than Clinton, who would continue and extend Obama's failed policies, encroachment on our rights and the use of the administrative state over even bothering with Congress.

    Let's turn it around: why isn't what Wikileaks is revealing and other scandals affecting Clinton's support?
    Her stealing of the primary from Sanders.
    Her 30,000 deleted emails referencing the use of the Clinton Foundation and over-priced speaking fees for Bill as a way to receive bribes from foreign governments and big multi-nationals. Half a billion dollars of corruption, and over half her meetings as Secretary of State were with these donors.
    The FBI and DoJ letting the spouse of the subject of an investigation talk to the head of the DoJ, then they say yeah she violated all these laws but we won't prosecute, yeah other people are in jail for less, but we don't think she's to be punished. Then it comes out that the FBI allowed for destruction of computers related to the investigation and didn't record testimony so that no one else can do a subsequent investigation of one they were so clearly biased on.
    Her defense of a child rapist she knew was guilty, her smearing of the 12 year old that she never apologized for and laughing about the victim.

    I would change my mind if the democrats would ever change their philosophy from socialism to enhancing my freedoms.
    Researching for a Hub, I discovered that in 2015 alone, without approval from any elected official, agencies have enacted over 3,000 new rules/regulations. 2,000 more are "in process".
    How can you possibly think the government is in any way "enhancing" your freedoms?
    Is the GOP, in regards to this, any better? Absolutely not.
    But, at least in the rhetoric of the GOP, they "talk" about limiting the government. (Then, they get into office and proceed to lie to get more of my freedoms taken away)
    In the past, the GOP at least tried to convince their supporters they were for freedom and less government.
    And this is why Trump has succeeded in crushing the "chosen" ones that the elite in the GOP put forth as viable candidates - people who love freedom and embrace capitalism know that the elite in the GOP are no different than the elite in the democratic party.
    Both have proven they want more power in government and less freedoms for the citizens of the country.
    In "economic freedom" we were at one time number 1, now number 11
    "Happiness index" we are number 13
    Education we rank 5th.
    We're number one in people incarcerated. (Even Russia and China have a smaller incarcerated population!)
    So, if the democrats actually start expressing views of giving me back freedoms and stop pandering to special interest groups, I might be willing to change my views.
    The same goes for the GOP.
    This is not about how "great" Trump is as a person or leader, it's about how bad everything else looks. At least Trump is talking about ending the idiotic ways of D.C., while hillary is talking about adding more of the same.
    You talk about conservatives being "blind". Your views of hillary, obama, bill could be talked about too, as far as blindness goes for transgressions and lies.
    America was founded on the concept of "inalienable" rights for it's citizens. The right to speak ones individual thoughts and ideas.
    The right to have privacy from government eyes and ears.
    The right to do conduct business without monumental interference from government.
    The right to own a gun, in case the government turns tyrannical (Are we there yet?) and we need to replace the corrupt politicians
    These are being taken away by new regulations - 3,000+ per year.
    What would it take to change my views? Offer me less government and give me my freedoms back.

Also funny he gets attacked for vulgar sexual talk and sexual assault allegations from the democratic, hypocrytical sex scandal side. Ok, if Obama attacks trump for it, but sorry Hillary just can't... She doesn't care, it's just her chance for an easy win. The media will not let Trump win, so she'll make it, don't worry about that.

    He should not be there, but it seems he's the only challenge for the fake economic recovery build by enormous debt and your children and grandchildren's possible poverty. He's not the solution, he's just the first wake up call. I hope not your last smile. I hope you get someone decent next time.

    I don't think so... because it really isn't about him or his past with women or his vulgar words or his self-centered egotistic bombastic personality.

    Its about where we know for sure we are headed if Clinton gets elected.

    Obamacare will fail during her Administration and Clinton will implement a one payer system... I expect they will start at least a 15% Healthcare tax. I suggest you start re-adjusting you budgets accordingly, its coming before her first term is over.

    The Sunni - Shiite Proxy War, between Saudi Arabia and Iran which is being waged all throughout the Middle East.  Under Clinton we will become heavily involved in this conflict, not only has Saudi Arabia paid the Clintons hundreds of millions of dollars over the years, but they have invested trillions into America.  Russia and China, will also be involved in this conflict, taking the side of Iran, we are about to become heavily involved there... again.

    And then there are the Supreme Court nominations... which will impact many things, they eventually will be approved, and that will shift the court out of balance, and it will become a court that interprets the Constitution in new ways... and supports the President (Clinton) as she uses Executive Orders and other means to bypass Congress to get her agendas accomplished.

    I expect some very tumultuous weather ahead. 
    With Trump who knows what we would get... but we likely wouldn't get a National/Federal/Social healthcare system that the working stiffs will have to carry for the whole country... we wouldn't get WWIII because Trump is not beholden to Saudi Arabia and could care less about the Sunni Shiite conflict... and we wouldn't get a Supreme Court bent on rewriting the Constitution as they see fit.

    Well, to conservative Christians, Trump is the least of all evils.  Given all revelations about HRC, especially reopening FBI investigation into HRC private email server, now it is coupled with criminal investigation into sexual luring of minors.

    W C Fields once said "I never vote for anyone - I always vote against". This seems to be the general attitude of many American voters; it doesn't matter how awful a candidate is - he or she will get your vote if the opposition candidate is perceived as being worse.

    This is hardly surprising given the 90% negativity of both presidential campaigns.

      Sadly it's true. It shouldn't be so - moral character negativities ought be so minor, they could almost be ignored. More positive qualities such as ability, experience and of course policy, would then be decisive. Now that would be a novelty!

    At this point, only if another candidate would pop up.  Hillary has a price tag, and if elected president, the office of President would be for sale as well. She sold us out as Secretary of Defense.

    I was hit really bad in the "great recession" which should be called the "great financial fraud." Her connections are deep.

    I've also been able to see the tremendous bias in the news. I always knew it existed, but not to this extend.

    The violence at Trump rallies were paid for by Clinton camp. The great divide is propelled by Clinton camp, etc. etc.

    I am a democrat (limited choice), but Trump would have to withdraw from the race before I'd consider not voting for him. My vote is against Hillary more so than for Trump.
