It is hard for most on the left to understand the point, but for a lot of Republicans the race is indeed just that (a binary choice) and abandoning Trump is by default conceding the race to Clinton. Obviously, Clinton supporters will mock that stance, because they cannot fathom anyone viewing Clinton as "equally bad". But the simple fact of the matter is, most Republicans will always view her as worse, far worse. This is especially the case as Trump becomes less likely to win, because for however bad Trump would have been, he would be the devil we never got to see in power, whilst Clinton will be the devil in power.
That is why Republicans calculating their future for 2020 and taking the Ted Cruz approach, are destroying themselves.
