“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” -- ancient Sanskrit proverb, 450 BC.
Republicans believe they face an unprecedented choice: To Trump or not To Trump. This is ludicrous. There is no choice. Did Roosevelt have a choice about whether to ally with Stalin in WWII?
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” sums up about all there is to know about “a choice.” Conservatives do not face a choice in this election. They are not permitted a choice. The idea of a choice, at this point, is irresponsible. If Trump does not win, Hillary, or some Democrat, will win. But it is not that these individuals will win or lose. What matters is whether their entourages of tens of thousands of advisers and appointees, win or lose. So which should a Conservative rather have, one million new Hillary minions or one million new Trump minions? Easy answer.
