Should WA state delegates vote with Trump or their conscience?

There’s a dilemma that is being faced by a number of delegates in our state that are delegates for the Republican Convention.
What if that delegate firmly believes that Trump is harmful and dangerous? According to the National Review, the delegate is not legally bound to Trump in any way. So should they stand by their conscience or vote for Trump?
My friend Brett Malin in the Northwest Daily Maker wrote that the Republican Party is the only way to promote Conservatism in American Governance. But now he’s alarmed that voting for Trump closes out the last bastion for Conservatives.
Should someone who thinks like Brett vote for Trump or stick by their conscience?
Brett continues that the main reason that a Trump win would be so disastrous and poisonous to the existence of the Republican Party is Trump’s core message; that all the Republicans have been bought out by special interests. So how do we campaign for other Republicans, when the top of the ticket maintains that all the Republicans are corrupt?
I believe that each delegate should make their own choice and stick with their conscience.
