As a national security leader said to me, "Donald Trump's victory may not be the conservative movement's victory, but his defeat is America's defeat. His win gives us room to maneuver, while his defeat seems poised to end our liberties."
As progressives erode and weaken what is exceptional about America, I worry we may not have four more years to spare. I fear we are sliding toward "the darkness" Ronald Reagan warned of when he said, "We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness."
Though I thought another candidate best, Americans disagreed. Donald Trump seems to love America and what made it great. He is now listening to men and women I respect in the public square right now on many matters, including national security. He has shown the courage to confront political correctness, a malignant weapon making America less safe today as it infects our law enforcement and national security. Far from perfect, Donald Trump is refreshingly commonsensical and patriotic, and the only viable option available to keep another progressive from wielding American power.
Hillary Clinton supports policies pulling America apart. She would continue the failed progressive policies of President Obama, who has polarized the nation with identity politics, weaponized bureaucrats against his opponents and set up two sets of rules where Washington picks winners and losers. Hillary Clinton has not distanced herself from any of these dangerous developments.
Hillary Clinton weakened America as secretary of state. Breaking a time-honored American ethos of coming to the aid of all Americans under attack abroad, she left Americans who were under attack behind in Benghazi, Libya in September 2012, and then lied to the rest of us about some videotape. She seems to have supported the release of GITMO prisoners, and the giving cash for Iranian hostages, opening all American travelers and those who serve our nation overseas to greater risk.
By associating with America's adversaries in the war on terror, Hillary Clinton puts us all at risk with open borders, refugee policies being designed by the United Nations, and foreign policy that offends our traditional allies and emboldens America's enemies. Her failed foreign policy should be reason enough to deny her the presidency.

Brilliant! Thanks so much for posting it.
Oh.. I miss read the headline.. was stunned and posted.. then read the article.. my bad .. and sorry as all get out!! I take it all back... too late.. but sorry still!!! I’m fried from all this.. and a death in the family...just overlook me for now... thanks...
Did you read the article?!?
“Does Ginni Thomas care? Sure doesn’t sound like it.”
What do you mean? She’s voting for Trump.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I gave my apologies.. sorry.. my brain is fried.. this election is hard... and am processing a death in my family..
Understandable with all you’ve been through, but glad you clarified. So sorry about your loss. It’s gonna be okay.
Hit the abuse button on the post, asked the mods to pull
the post and they may do so with your explanation.
Two quotations jumped out at me that I think are significant for the upcoming election:
“Donald Trump’s victory may not be the conservative movement’s victory, but his defeat is America’s defeat. His win gives us room to maneuver, while his defeat seems poised to end our liberties.”
“We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness.” -Ronald Reagan
I expect if Hillary wins, all the elements arrayed against Trump, from establishment Republicans to radical leftists and media denizens, will reinforce themselves to ensure any attempt to break their power fails.
This is probably the last time — for a long while — that there will be an opportunity to turn back the corruption in our country.
This is something that more never Trumpers should have done some time ago.
Yes, I read your apology above.
Take care.
I think this is the last kick at the can for the GOP.
Boy, when you jump to conclusions you go all out!
You’re forgiven! Even though you made me go back and read the article two more times because I kept missing the part where she said Clarence Thomas was voting for Hillary! LOL!
Slightly off topic. I researched every one on my ballot (as I do every election) and I am voting against someone running at County level for school board. My reason is that she was part of the Cruz campaign. If she has that little knowledge of the Constitution or regard for it, I don’t want her anywhere near my schools.
Thank you for letting me off the hook. I lost my son from cancer 3 weeks ago after a 2 year battle with him trying to get him well.. and losing this election can’t happen... It’s been rough to lose one battle and hear them tell us we’re going to lose the election. I am a Thomas fan.. and I voted for Trump today in GA.. I keep answering hillary’s voters on FB.. we have to win this election..
Just a Thank you... I’m in a hurry to get these 2 weeks over with and know Trump will be in that office!!
(giggle) now how many times before has THIS ever occurred? At a glance somethings are easily misread and ASSUMEd.
