Mac Stipanovich is a big shot Republican in the electorally important State of Florida. What Stipanovich wrote in his open letter mirrors what I'm hearing from my mostly Republican golf buddies and the guys I exercise my weapons with at a Seattle area gun range...
Mac Stipanovich is... the former Chief of Staff for Republican Florida Governor Bob Martinez.
Stipanovich: "An open letter to my fellow Republicans" and “We spawned Donald Trump; now we must stop him. We must deny him the presidency by not voting in the presidential election at all or voting for Hillary Clinton…”
Leading Florida Republican says vote for Hillary or don't vote
An open letter to my fellow Republicans

On a personal level, Trump is a boor, a bully, a carnival barker and an embarrassment. Politically, by intent or instinct, he is a neo-fascist — a nativist, an ultranationalist, a racist, a misogynist, an anti-intellectual, a demagogue and a palingenetic (sorry) authoritarian to whom clings the odor of the political violence he encourages.
He appeals to our fears, preys on our anxieties and exploits our ignorance. A worse candidate to sit in the Oval Office for the next four years cannot be imagined.
And he is our responsibility. We spawned Donald Trump; now we must stop him. We must deny him the presidency by not voting in the presidential election at all or voting for Hillary Clinton if conscience permits.
< SNIP>
A drop of a few percentage points in the Republican vote for Trump will be enough, which is why the pressure to conform, to toe the party line, will be enormous. We cannot depend on our elected leaders to lead us. They, for the most part, will fold like cheap lawn chairs, cowed by fear and fueled by ambition.
