    I totally get not voting for Trump. What I don't get is why lifelong GOP partisans/operatives would leave the party after 1 loss.

        Isn't the argument that they can't support a system that allowed this man to hijack it in the first place?

        most of it was artifice but i saw a lot more principles in line with why I became a republican in Philly. Assume you did too.

        Apparently the sting of the primary loss for the Bush dynasty has clouded her judgement.

        It's not loss, it's who Trump is and what he makes ME look like if I have the GOP label. He's branded GOP with Trump. NeverTrump

        Kind of dishonest to call it "one loss" like this is comparable to Dole, Romney campaign, etc.

        It is not just the nominee but the RNC and how they are handling this process at every step defending him no matter what.

        It's a failure at every level of the party, not just the loss. From the RNC to the candidates to the base voters.

        Could it be that they saw mainstream GOP leaders crumble / grovel so readily? Shaking trust in the whole thing. I unregistered.

        .@mattklewis They won't stay gone unless there is some viable alternative. It's essentially a statement to make clear this is unacceptable.

        what does it say about GOP base, that this man won your primary? Racist leaning, white nationalism, all given cover by GOP nom.

        Because Trump represents something larger in the party itself they just can't stomach?
