But it's not a poll. It's an attempt to communicate, by making an analogy. Wasn't a bad one either, IMHO.

BAM.........

But we have no choice. Being forced to vote for Hillary is like 'I will shoot you if you don't shoot yourself', IMHO.

Think of yourself as heroically drinking gall to defeat the demon sorcerer.

Those were the only options. Real people make those compromise decisions every day, this is another one.

'Even after Trump loses, the GOP is still toast' WaPo
"Last year, I wrote an article calling Donald Trump a godsend for moderate Republicans. Trump, I predicted, would lose so spectacularly that the GOP would be forced to transform itself, surrendering its mindless obstructionism, science denial, xenophobia and plutocracy. After a purge like that, the party would finally be able to compete in future national elections.
I was wrong. I now see that Trump’s candidacy has exacerbated the Republican Party’s weaknesses, alienating minorities, fracturing the base and stunting smart policy development. The party’s structural problems are so severe that reform is impossible. Even if Trump loses and the GOP races to forget him, the party is doomed. And very few of our leaders seem to care."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...=.7efb167a6c5f

Seems like a realistic evaluation.
