There is a real possibility that the final two candidates will be Trump (Republican) and HR Clinton (Democrat).
There are many on this forum who have already spoken of their distate of Trump, for many reasons. Footage of a young African American women being yelled at and attacked at a Trump rally, and his hesitation to disavow the KKK I am thinking probably has given even the most ardent supporters, pause. In addition, it has been discussed how many of his foreign relations proposals are actually illegal, including torture. The military can refuse orders that are illegal. A Trump presidency means a real possibility between a break between our military and the president, creating a power vacumn that leaves us militarily vulnerable. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/02/28/former-cia-director-military-may-refuse-to-follow-trumps-orders-if-he-becomes-president/
If it came down to it, who will conservatives vote for? Many people on the Democratic side feel that Clinton is too close to corporate/business interests to be considered truly democratic. Also there is a certain segment of conservatives that simply hate her (I'm not going to try to explain it). At the same time most people do vote along party lines.
