To the Editor:
Those in the “Never Trump” movement should look to history to guide their rhetoric and voting behavior. Because Hillary Clinton said at a CNN debate in October 2015 that she hopes to “build on the successes of President Obama,” those in the “Never Trump” movement need to ask themselves two questions: 1) Was the United States better off with Barack Obama as president rather than Mitt Romney or Senator John McCain?; and 2) Did Republicans who either did not vote or voted for Mr. Obama in those elections make wise voting decisions by contributing to Mr. Obama’s wins?
If the answers to these two questions are “no,” those in the “Never Trump” movement should not contribute to a Clinton victory in 2016 by either not voting at all or voting for Mrs. Clinton. Rather, they should cease their anti-Trump rhetoric, vote for Mr. Trump and encourage others to do the same.

Note from KBJ: I have two words for any conservative or Republican (or both) who is thinking either of voting for Hillary Clinton, voting for a third-party candidate, or staying home on election day: "Supreme Court." Even if you think Donald Trump is the devil incarnate, you have sufficient reason to vote for him.
