We've just seen in this very thread the type of "discourse" involved here: is Trump a racist or merely a bigot or merely liked by racist bigots? Just like Hillary, who is a criminal or a quasi-criminal or merely liked by criminals? Right?
Defend/mitigate against the most heinous aspects of Trump; simultaneously hammer away at every negative aspect real or imagined of Hillary until the two are roughly equivalent in their depravities.
Every Republican who has endorsed the awfulness that is Trump will be doing the same thing: slowly drawing the two together in everyone's mind until it could possibly, maybe be palatable to hold one's nose and vote Trump for an independent even though the two choices are not remotely alike in their possible repercussions.
