Many will. Some won’t.

Do you really think that? I think more than 90% of the Republicans will support Trump by voting. Maybe you mean the sugar daddies won’t pay for his campaign through their anonymous PACs and you may be right.

GOP Voters Are Rallying Behind Trump As If He Were Any Other Candidate

There will be a Repub contingent that won’t support him. Look what some of them did to Romney. Romney just wasn’t “pure” enough for some of them so they stayed home and handed the election to Obama.

They’ll do it to Trump, too, so what’s it to him if they stay home again? They will no matter what he says or does. He has to get new people behind him, and he knows it, in order to make up for those who stay home and pout.

I have no idea how many will stay home or vote third party or refuse to contribute. But as to the big contributors, I doubt there will be all that many who don’t want to be in the game. A person has to remember that those who drum up the contributions really don’t want to tell the contributors that they just sat on the money.
 
I’ve looked into Hillary Clinton, and I feel that when it comes to most of her policies, she’s better than Obama…

She’s against that stupid Iran deal

She’s pro-Israel

She won’t go around apologizing to other countries for things America did over 70 years ago

I can see her making some reform changes to the ACA to at least make it less bad

She believes in climate change to a a reasonable extent, without freaking out and and treating it like the world is about to end like Obama does

She doesn’t obsess over concepts such as fracking, which people assume causes earthquakes, yet scientists have already said that it doesn’t

She realizes that prisons are actually necessary

She realizes that serious drugs need to be illegal (this being said I’d be fine if she legalized pot)

I can’t see her putting too much attention to this bathroom situation, which has become almost a red herring issue to distract everyone from real issues

Is that why he is insulting the Judge in his federal case saying that he is a ‘hater’ suggesting that he shouldn’t be overseeing his case because he ‘happens to be, we believe, a Mexican’?

What kind of voters will that draw in?

It’s not going to play well with Hispanics who probably believe that they have the right to be a judge if they are qualified despite being Hispanic.
 
Trump tells the truth closer than any one of the serpent tongued Clinton advocates. It may be that Americans have really woken up and are intending to take care of business!

‘I Can Watch It on TV’: Excuses for Republicans Skipping a Donald Trump Convention

I don’t blame those who are not going, I wonder how things will play out in the general. Trump has bashed the party establishment & vice versa. He has said he doesn’t need party unity to get elected. Maybe not. But given Trump’s penchant for bashing GOP elected officials he doesn’t like he may damage a lot of senatorial and congressional campaigns.

Right now I think that he (Trump) should be working on unifying the party and trying to the win the votes of those that did not vote for him in the primaries. At least if he plans on defeating Hillary Clinton. The next 6 months is paramount. Releasing the names of the judges he has said he would think about appointing is a good step-but the party needs to be unified if he wants a win in November. And I haven’t seen that coming from him-not yet. he should quit bashing the “establishment” Quit with the "lyin’ Ted stuff. he needs all of us-to win in November.

Like you, I have not read the Judge’s ruling on the Motion for Summary Judgment, so I can’t say what prompted Trump’s reaction.

But did NOT say the judge shouldn’t rule on it because he is Mexican. He said the judge should recuse himself because he is an Obama appointee. Again, there might be something in the argument or opinion showing bias.

But I definitely believe Trump will be misconstrued and misquoted endlessly in this campaign season, just as he is in the post above.

Well, he certainly brought up that the judge ‘happens to be, we believe, Mexican’. I wonder why he would do that. He is trying to appeal to new voters. That isn’t going to appeal to Hispanics…

I’m unsure he knows it. He just said yesterday he is not changing. Though he might need to in order to broaden his appeal beyond the voter demographic that supported him and his “style” in a Republican primary.

I don’t think we should be surprised. For all the talk of integrity and questioning his moral and conservative values, Republicans will support anyone for President at the end.

Do you feel the same way about Bernie supporting Democrats voting for Clinton, should Bernie not be the candidate?

So he wants a judge of his own choosing? No Obama appointees. Maybe one nominated to a court by Bill Clinton? We’ve only had 1 President inbetween Clinton and Obama and if I recall correctly, he wasn’t full of praises for that one either during the primary.
 
I think the moral of the story is he wants justice in the supposedly corrupt justice system the Democrats rail on about is unjust and they want justice in. 😊 🤷
 
Principles, comical. Everything democratic is up for negotiation including their media and judges, policy, all of it. Hope and change failed and became make America great again, viva negotiation! 👍
 
Democrat lesson on principles today according to Jen

foxnews.com/politics/2016/06/01/state-department-admits-briefing-footage-on-iran-deal-intentionally-deleted.html
The State Department, in a stunning admission, acknowledged Wednesday that officials intentionally deleted several minutes of video footage from a 2013 press briefing, where a top spokeswoman seemed to acknowledge misleading the press over the Iran nuclear deal.

“There was a deliberate request, this was not a glitch,” State Department official John Kirby acknowledged on Wednesday, adding they don’t know who made the request.

Again, without knowing what was said in oral argument or in the judge’s opinion, I don’t think we can say whether he showed bias or not.
