This might be the time where they might be willing to listen to what we have to say and will probably agree with our values.

He's a Trump supporter, wants the GOP to get in line with DT.

I don't think you understand how much Clinton is hated among the republicans.
They may note vote, vote libertarian or other 3rd party.
Each of those options may help the democrats, but I think it's a mistake to assume they'll vote for Clinton.
Both Trump and Clinton have very high disapproval ratings. Trump does lead that one though.

I don't know any lifelong democrats that live in a state of rage, let alone any who are even remotely considering doing anything resembling what this nut case Drumpf supporter is. In fact, all the lifelong democrats that I know, to the man/woman, including their children are enthusiastically supporting Hillary.

Every one.

Sorry. RW meme's just don't apply to lifelong democrats.
