hatred of Hillary that exists out there. Many otherwise sensible Republicans honestly think that a Hillary Clinton Presidency would be a total disaster (somewhat as we consider to possibility of a Donald Trump Presidency) and even if they are not crazy about the Donald, they'll vote for him over her.

I don't agree with that assessment, but posters here really ought to pay attention to what it's like outside the DU bubble.
