Trump is very flawed; no, that's not a reason to accept the damage a Hillary presidency would do

Perspective

On a certain level, I completely understand why Donald Trump behaves the way he does. At times, I even like it. I especially love the way he gives the media no respect and no quarter for their dishonest and absurd behavior. I would like to see more Republicans do that. In fact, I’d like to see everyone do that, no matter who they are.

I like the fact that Trump does not concern himself with the established norms of how proper and appropriate people are supposed to behave in the political world. I don’t think he’s the slightest bit unaware of these norms. I think he knows very well what they are and considers them ridiculous. I think he made a calculated bet that by flouting them instead of following them, he would gain a lot more respect and support than he would lose. And I think he was right about that.

Hillary’s positives which are hard to find

You cannot find that which does not exist.

They certainly don’t want patriots to have guns.

Of course I guess it's hard to find anything that doesn't exist.

Anyone else sick and tired of this "Trump-Is-Flawed" meme? As though it needs to be said as some kind of political penance for voting for Trump.

Mitt Romney was a deeply and hypocritically "flawed" Republican; a phony elite; a bi-partisan back-stabbing liar; an unprincipled political transvestite; insincere, un-likeable, AND a coward who was bought. He never ran to win and BEAT 0bama.

McCain? Add ALL of the above, PLUS his stupidity, collusion, treason, AND attention whoring was legendary.

George W. Bush?

Flawed beyond belief; And that was before we knew he knowingly turned the USA into a Police State days after 9/11; before he was exposed as obstructing justice and hiding Saudi involvement in 9/11; colluded to destroy US sovereignty by leaving the borders open after 9/11 and pushing for Amnesty; *before* he involved us in the Perpetual War in Iraq for phony reasons.

And who knew George W. Bush was such a yuge fan of Bill and Hillary Clinton AND the 0bamas? How flawed would he have to be to be fully aware of 0bama's subversive background and hatred of the USA, yet do NOTHING to stop him from accomplishing what no foreign army ever could in over 230 years; demolish and take down the US from within?

However we DID know (and overlook) Dubya Bush lecturing ALL Americans to be tolerant and nice to adherents of the "RELIGION OF PEACE" days after Saudi-backed jihadists attacked the USA on his watch. And instead of advancing a conservative agenda when the GOP took control of both Houses, he took us BACKWARDS. Dubya Bush was the best friend Democrats and Muslims ever had.

Ergo, George W was THE most "flawed" GOP Presidential candidate in history. Yet THE point again: Parroting the meme, "Trump-Is-Flawed" after having had had the previous three GOP globalist frauds shoved down out throats -- without mentioning their "FLAWS" -- is complete BS.

NONE of the previous three flawed globalist puppets EVER stressed an "AMERICA-FIRST" policy as a priority. But all three of them enabled and guaranteed 0bama's and the globalist elites trash our sovereignty.

Name me anyone in politics who is not “flawed” and I’ll ask “Why isn’t he/she our candidate?”

Donald Trump is not perfect; but taken all in all, he is by a wide margin the best Republican Presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan! He has brought back into the public debate, the most important issues concerning an American Future; and he is on the American side on those issues.

Just in rebuking the bullies who have silenced so many supposed "Conservatives" with their insistence on Politically Correct silence on those key issues; Donald Trump has already conferred a benefit of Historic importance on American politics.
