If You Support A Third Party Candidate To Dump Donald Trump, You’re Voting For Hillary Clinton

Townhall.com:

Conway, who fully disclosed that she was a Cruz backer, added that for conservatives, this is the election they have been waiting for for a long time. The question of electability is gone, and the candidates who were supposed to win have left the race. This also could be the year, where the GOP’s extensive political apparatus at the state and local level could yield some serious political dividends in the general elections. You have a nice bed of support when you control two-thirds of the governorships and have the most elected state lawmakers in office since 1920. 

She added that turnout in the various GOP primary contests have reached record levels, people are willing to wait in line for long hours to cast their ballots, and enthusiasm is shooting through the stratosphere. It shows that voter engagement is high, and that people are paying attention. People are done with outside forces, the political establishment, the media, etc., telling them who to vote for in this election.

As for Hillary and the Democrats, Conway noted that the Democratic primary skewed towards women (58 female/42 percent male), while Republicans skewed towards men. Yet, she’s not afraid of Hillary. Male voters don’t trust Hillary–they certainly don’t like her–and that gap that Hillary has with male voters is just as serious as the GOP’s problem with single, urban-based women. 

Now, what if Trump is the nominee? Will there be a third party challenge from the right? Interesting since the Republican Party spent countless time tying to persuade Trump not to do the exact same thing from the outset of his presidential bid. Barnes said that the party is opposed to abortion, mostly against the concept of gay marriage, so there isn’t a lot to detonate the party base unless Trump wins the nomination. He feels that conservatives will either not vote for him, back Hillary, or back a conservative third party bid. Schlapp expressed skepticism as to whether any serious conservative would vote for Hillary, but insinuated that a vote for a third party conservative could be viewed as a vote for Hillary.

In 1992, billionaire Ross Perot allowed Bill Clinton to beat President George H.W. Bush, nabbing 19 percent of the vote. Bush 41 views Perot as a spoiler who cost him the election–and to this day is still mad at him. Conway added that if Trump is the nominee, and Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, plus a third party challenger from the conservative orbit; it hands the election to Hillary. Full stop. 

Damn right, anyone with a brain should bring up the name Russ Perot when an idiot Republican or conservative talks about broken conventions or 3rd Party runs just in case Donald Trump turns out to be the GOP nominee.
