Paul Ryan is not voting for Trump.
It may come as news to the pea brains on ELBA that many principled republicans feel the same way.
Voting for Trump because he is GOP by ballot label means nothing.
Trump is not a Conservative in the mold of William Buckley , Ronald Reagan, HW Bush, etc.
Turning the party over to MAGA to defeat Biden is not worth it.
The polls ( scoreboards) seemingly go unnoticed to those who look behind the headlines.

Trump may be leading but in a two way race he polls at 46-47 per cent.
The election is not a two way race.

The SOLE dem strategy is to demonize Trump via Lawfare, pliable media, and Trump s own dialog.

Maybe the electorate will hold Biden to his record of failure.
It is more likely that educated and morally reliable GOP and Independent voters will opt for riding out the mess Biden created amid a divided Congress and a SCOTUS that adheres to the Constitution.
In short. Democracy is not at stake. We will survive. No need to compromise on those values

I am reminded of a Will Rogers quote about the better element of Pennsylvania.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.

JFK attributed the quote to Will Rogers. Good enough for him, good enough for me.

Quote
I was not misled, I should add, by those who constantly told me that Senator Kefauver could not win "because all the better element in the party were against him." For I well remembered the words of Will Rogers in a similar situation: "They told me," he said, with respect to a notorious candidate in Pennsylvania at that time, "that the better element are all against him. Well, I knew that but I also knew that there are very few of the better element in Pennsylvania. I don't know offhand of a state, according to its population, that has fewer better element. Of course, I hope that nothing disastrous turns up, but I warned them three months ago to procure more better element."

Are you calling JFK a LIAR, sir? The sainted, martyred JFK? President of the US, and 4th Degree Knight of Columbus? For shame, sir! For shame! Pretty sure Ted Sorenson researched the quote.

Also directly relevant.

Lawfare?

Trump would not be in court if he had refrained from criming before, during and after his presidency.
