Related: About this forumSome of the right’s most prominent conservatives are getting Ready for Hillary.
Donald Trump is now the Republican Partys presumptive nominee, as Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus tweeted tonight.
And the conservative activists who adamantly oppose him are now in the process of making peace with backing the Democrats eventual nominee. Because theres one person they fear and loathe more than Hillaryand they say they wont blink.
Leon Wolf, the editor of the conservative site RedState.com, told The Daily Beast shortly after Cruz dropped out that hes considering a Clinton vote.
If its a competitive election, I probably will be compelled to vote for Hillary, he said.

Ben Howe, a RedState contributing editor and prominent conservative activist, said he will work to stop Trump from winning the general electionand that he realizes this means hell be helping Hillary.
