The only thing that I can imagine overriding this is the supreme court vacancy - if you think that Trump's nominee would be far better than Clinton's that is - but if you're looking into that you are concerned with the bigger picture and then the future vacancies are just as important if not more.
Those employed at the National Review might stay home but the man on the street will likely be enthused to vote. I'm not here to defend Trump or his record as a conservative. But I feel confident that, if given only one choice between Trump and a democrat, they will prefer Trump. And many of the "republicans" will be energized by Trump simply because he represents an execution of the Bush/Boehner/McConnnel republicans that have angered them so much over the past ten years. A final flushing of that toilet that has been stinking up the place for so long.
