GOP: Anybody but Hillary -- while Republicans might be divided on some issues, they are one on Clinton

Republicans might have their differences, but there is one thing they almost universally agree on -- they have to do their best to prevent another Clinton from occupying the White House.

Over the weekend, House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has begun to work with leading GOP candidate Donald Trump to resolve their deep ideological differences, said it is important to note that at the same time that Clinton and Bernie Sanders continue to tear into one another on the campaign trail, Republicans are trying to knit together their fractured party.

"We're really in the never Hillary camp," he was quoted as saying.

Trump's abrasive style has led many leading Republicans to disavow his candidacy, but when push comes to shove you can believe they won't be voting for the former secretary of state and first lady, no matter how much they might look upon Trump with trepidation.

We have to admit that we have been put off by some of Trump's stances on the issues, but the country cannot afford four more years of Obama-style leadership, which Clinton undoubtedly would carry on.
