No, although I would still vote for him (if a couple conditions are met).  I wouldn't really be celebrating his win as much as Hillary Clinton's loss, though.

You never were going to vote for the Republican nominee. Paul was never going to get it.

Where's the "No, I'd vote for Hillary Clinton" option?

I'm a Republican, but I think that Clinton would be a better president than Trump.

I won't vote for him. I don't like Clinton but I'll vote for her. She'll at least be good at public transportation and infrastructure funding.

I would have been fine voting for Cruz, Christie, Rubio, Fiorina, Perry, Bush, and Kasich as the nominee, but never Huckabee, Santorum, Carson, Trump, Jindal or Graham

You don't care about Clinton appointing liberal judges to the Supreme Court?

Would likely keep the Senate Republican and make it hard to get anyone actually fully liberal through. Clinton would probably elect someone who's actually at least sane over Obama and Trump. It also keeps a human pile Trump out of office.

1. He cannot reverse himself on life in the general election
2. He cannot express willingness to nominate anything other than conservative justices to the Supreme Court
3. He cannot go any more ridiculous with his proposals

You forgot to include something like this, as an option :
"No. Will probably vote for the Dem candidate."

Trump on how he approaches foreign policy-

How could I vote for this? How could anyone vote for that?

I will likely go third party but I can't rule out HRC  I guess. To make we want to vote for HRC takes some real talent and Donald is certainly delivering.

Yeah, this is what I don't understand. There's republicans like Jindal, Cruz and Santorum who I think are dangerous theocrats who'd be awful.... however I can still appreciate they could do the job as President, and would actually respect the office/country.

Trump is the equivalent to the Democrats nominating Cornel West; even as someone who could be seen as a partisan democrat (even sadder considering I'm not from the US) and someone who would likely vote Democrat 99.5% I can still appreciate that West would be awful. Why can't the same principle be applied to Trump?

3. He cannot go any more ridiculous with his proposals

I can see that. He's reversed himself at least on one occasion in this campaign. My prime concern has always been the life issue and he's gonna have to show that he can be trusted to put a pro-life jurist on the court (hint hint Cruz). Even if he does that I'm not sure that I could hold my nose (like I've been forced to ever since I started voting in 2000) and Mark my ballot for him. It took a instruction from God to pull it for Mitt (I was adamant about writing in Ron Paul in 2012). That's why we have to work as hard as we can to get Cruz in.

Trump is anti-free trade, anti-excessive foreign involvement, and serious about illegal immigration.  On issues, he's the best of the lot for me.

Yes, I recognize his persona.  What about Ted Cruz, who has alienated everyone who knows him wel since his freshman year of college.

This is a bad lot of Presidential candidates.  Right now, Trump's the best.  That's as ringing an endorsement I can come up with.

As a pretty loyal Republican, I never considered Cruz, Carson, Fiorina, Trump as serious contenders. Now I'm pretty much stuck with Trump or Cruz. That's depressing. But to be honest, it's the voters making their voice heard. Not polls or pundits. It would be unfair and unwise to overthrow the will of the people.

Hell no.

The Republican Party can turn to leftism and bigotry if it wishes, but it cannot have my support at the same time.

I see very little substantive difference between the two economically, and Trump winning means the Republican Party makes a turn away from what I consider its most important policy platform: opposing redistribution.

So it's really a toss-up to me. I don't see how Trump will be any better than Clinton because I don't see Clinton creating any more social programs than Trump.
